Original United Artists Scene Lobby Card (11×14) for the Edwin L. Marin Christmas drama, CHRISTMAS EVE (1947) starring George Raft, George Brent, and Randolph Scott. This charming story is about three adopted sons who must come home before midnight on Christmas Eve in order to save their mother’s fortune. This original scene lobby card is in very fine condition.

Original Paramount Pictures Portrait Lobby Card (11×14) for the Wesley Ruggles dance drama, BOLERO (1934) starring George Raft, Carole Lombard, Sally Rand, and Frances Drake. This is the story of Raoul (Raft), who rises from a coalmine laborer to being one of the best dancer in Europe, and finally to owning his own club. The dances are actually Raft’s vaudeville and nightclub act before he came to Hollywood. At one point in his early career, Raft was a tea-room gigolo dancing with dowagers for tips and more. This great 30s dance film is more about mood and style and not so much about plot. Sally Rand does her famous “fan dance” complete with see-through negligee. From the famed Royal Theater Collection, this beautiful portrait lobby card of Raft and Lombard is in near mint condition. RARE.

Original Warner Brothers One Sheet Poster (27×41) for the Raoul Walsh film noir crime drama, THEY DRIVE BY NIGHT (1940) starring George Raft, Ann Sheridan, Ida Lupino, and Humphrey Bogart. Raft and Bogart are small-time truck drivers. Sheridan is a wise cracking waitress, and Lupino plays the vicious, scorned woman. This film was popular with audiences not because of the story so much as the forceful performances by all the main actors and the excellent direction by Walsh. The most memorable moment in the film is the trial sequence in which Lupino disintegrates into hysterics on the witness stand. This original one sheet poster is linen-backed and in very fine condition.
