Lobby Card (11" x 14") ;
Very Fine-; Artwork by Al Hirschfeld
MGM, 1939

Featuring superb border artwork of the three Max Brothers by the legendary caricaturist, Al Hirschfeld, this lobby card depicts Groucho checking on cast members Florence Rice and Kenny Baker. This example is unrestored in excellent condition and displays border pinholes, a small chip on the upper border with a small edge tear stabilized by brown paper tape on the back, slightly rounded corners, and a tiny nick on the lower border. The color palette is fresh and vibrant, and this card is sure to delight fans of classic comedy.

"At the Circus" is a Marx Brothers comedy released by MGM, featuring Groucho, Harpo, and Chico as they attempt to save a circus from bankruptcy. The film includes Groucho's iconic performance of "Lydia the Tattooed Lady" and features supporting actors Florence Rice, Kenny Baker, Margaret Dumont, and Eve Arden. Its songs-including "Lydia the Tattooed Lady," "Two Blind Loves," and "Step Up and Take a Bow"-were written by Harold Arlen and Yip Harburg, who had just composed the music for "The Wizard of Oz" earlier that year.

Estimate: $300 - 600
