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.

The Wayward Bus - MLC

This is another Mexican Lobby Card which I recently added to my collection. It is for the Wayward Bus in which Joan starred alongside Jayne Mansfield and Dan Dailey.

The colour and artwork on the Mexican Lobby Cards is so much more vibrant than the UK and US ones, and I will feature more of them in future posts.
