Title Lobby Card (11" x 14")

Warner Bros., 1935

Additionally, this auction includes the remaining seven cards from the set.

MGM leveraged their immense star power and creative resources for their 1935 production of Shakespeare's timeless play, which was co-directed by William Dieterle and theatrical impresario Max Reinhardt. Presented here is the film's spectacular title lobby card, featuring an ethereal and dreamlike image that matches the stunning design of the film's one sheet poster. This particular example is unrestored and in outstanding condition, showing only three pinholes, a few light smudges along the borders, and a small corner crease. The borders remain bright white, and the colors are fresh and vibrant. This elusive title lobby card has been offered by major auction houses fewer than five times, making it a rare opportunity to acquire a piece of cinematic history.

Shakespeare's fairy-filled romance received the full-on Hollywood treatment, complete with ballet sequences and the music of Felix Mendelssohn, in a big-budget flop whose cast includes James Cagney, Olivia de Havilland, Mickey Rooney, Dick Powell and Jean Muir.
