I love the early 20th century and the people from the day including the movies! People were so classy and lovely! Thanks for sharing, Have a great weekend! ( =
Thank you for this great film. I adore the beautiful clippings from the 20 Century movies...Also love the actors in those movies...Pure Classic so wonderful and at the same time sort of nostalgic...Happy One Year Anniversary my dear Artist Venus...Thank you Sir Captain for making this great video...It is superb!
@VenusDeArt You're most kindly welcome Venus...it's my pleasure!
These are actually referred too as Lobby Cards because they were only 11x14 and were framed in glass...Most posters are 29x41 and what people did was fold them up because they were so huge...problem is it ruined them all as I will make a video showing you the difference in posters and lobby cards because it makes a huge difference when grading conditions as I collect both...the good ones always were framed and kept behind glass...
Lobby posters of this period are a nice addition to any serious collectors collection!! A true piece of nostalgia, that no doubt will bring back special memories for many of this generation!! In England we had similar posters, but I would imagine the British versions are slightly different!! A walk down memory lane, that takes you away from your cares and worries, making you feel you are walking on air!!
@MAGICKMINSTREL718 Lobby Cards were designed for display in a theater’s lobby or foyer with the intention of luring patrons into the theater by showing glimpses of key scenes from the movie. A lobby card set typically consists of one Title Card, a lobby card of special design usually depicting all key stars, listing credits and designed to represent the entire film rather than a single scene, and seven Scene Cards each depicting a different scene from the movie
Other examples include the infamous “grapefruit scene” from The Public Enemy, Orson Welles at the podium in Citizen Kane, the Marilyn Monroe card from The Asphalt Jungle, and the famous crop-duster scene from North by Northwest. This latter example so perfectly captures an iconic moment in film history, that this single lobby card will typically sell for more than most full-size posters from the same movie.
@MAGICKMINSTREL718 Lobby Cards made their first appearance in the early 1910s around the same time that Charlie Chaplin was breaking into motion pictures. The earliest Silent-era lobby cards were often nothing more than black and white or duotone stills. These were eventually replaced by hand-tinted scenes, and by the 1920s most studios were producing full-color lobby cards.
@MAGICKMINSTREL718 The collectibility value of lobby cards is influenced by several factors, the most important of which is the graphic appeal of the card itself. A lobby card featuring a closeup of the main actors, or the monster, or depicting a key scene, is much more desirable than a card showing only a distant shot of the stars, or a “dead” card featuring no stars at all. The importance or popularity of the film is another key factor in determining a lobby card’s value.
@MAGICKMINSTREL718 Lobby Cards are no longer used in U.S. theaters and are rarely produced for today’s films. These small movie posters (usually 11”x14” in a landscape, or horizontal format, printed on card stock) were generally produced in sets of eight, although the number of cards in a set can vary from as few as four to as many as 16.
@MAGICKMINSTREL718 Certain lobby cards have acquired an almost Holy Grail status among collectors. Prime examples include the Letters of Transit card from Casablanca, the tear-wiping scene from the Wizard of Oz and the lobby card featuring Norman Bates and The House from Psycho. Because these single cards so effectively capture the essence of the movie, their value can often be completely out of proportion with that of any other movie memorabilia from the film.
@MAGICKMINSTREL718...I wanted to show you a difference when I put up Lobby cards which were 11x14 compared to posters which were typically 27x41
Lobby cards are mostly in great condition...REASON...they were thick and small so people didn't fold them...
Posters you will see a huge difference when I make future videos because of the folds...people folded them and ruined them as they are graded, example, folded could be $50 and unfolded $2500, mine are framed in glass in perfect condition...
I enjoyed getting to see these posters of movies I've never seen before!!!! Would love to see the Kirk Douglas one...love seeing him in films! Love the music!
@TexasMom17 These are "Lobby" posters...when you walked by Main st the ticket booth was on the sidewalk and next to that were glass windows and inside framed were these posters/lobby cards of current movie to attract people walking by and shopping...once inside you walked passed them framed on walls...my collection is from those days in movie theatres...days long gone but highly collectible in good condition...
@TexasMom17 read what I wrote Stuart to give you better knowledge of what you are viewing since you were not even born yet when lobby cards were outside theaters....hahahaha
Captain, This video deserves a bunch of stars.******** And... a special congratulations to our special lady this was made for...
