Website New Section - Lobby Cards

I am currently going through a number of Lobby Cards from films that Joan starred in and will be adding these into a new section on the website.

Lobby cards originate from the USA, and usually measured 11"x 14" and consisted of a title card and up to 8 cards depicting scenes from the film.
Mexican versions which I will also feature on the site had vivid colours and artwork and were different to American ones.

English (UK) cards were often called the same but were smaller, usually 10"x8" and were known as FOH (Front of House) cards.

Below is a title lobby card for the film The Wayward Bus, which Joan starred in alongside Jayne Mansfield, Dan Dailey and Rick Jason.  Other Lobby cards can be found on the blog using the search engine.

Memorabilia Corner - Lobby Title Cards

Due to PC problems towards the latter end of last month and a busy work schedule, posts were a little scarce. Hopefully as we settle into May and my schedules start to calm down a little, I can devote more time to the blog.

Today I am featuring this title card for "The Girl In The Red Velvet Swing" from the collection

Title cards as they are known or #1 lobby card often have different artwork to the rest of the set, and often closely resemble the poster for the film

Check out other lobby cards on the website in the galleries section

Memorabilia Corner - The Slasher

Another "hot off the press" addition to my collection - this American lobby card is one of six I have acquired for the film "The Slasher" (Cosh Boy being its UK title).

Featured on this one is Joan with her young co-star James Kenney. The film also starred Hermione Baddeley and Hermione Gingold.

I have also acquired a US poster of the film for the collection and I will add this directly to the website, plus other memorabilia as well

Memorabila Corner: The Girl In The Red Velvet Swing

This American Lobby Card is one of five added to the website. It features Joan as Evelyn Nesbit with Ray Milland as Playboy architect Stafford White.

Check out the other cards which can be found under the lobby Cards link for the film.
