I need to figure out how to display the one set of Lobby Cards I have.  My dad worked in a theater when he was in college, and he got to keep some when he cleared out the storage, so I have a full set of eight cards from the original release of Bridge on the River Kwai.  I keep thinking they would make a neat display.

 

For lobby cards I use a 14x18 color metal (Nielsen type) frame with a matching color matte board cut for an 11x14 image (it will be slightly less than 11x14 to let it hold the pic, so to speak.)  For larger pieces like one-shhets (27x41), half sheets (22x28), inserts (14x36) etc. I use a color frame that is cut for that size, so it is flush mounted. For any piece I look at it and use a frame color that complements the piece. Sorry for the crappy phone photos but I think they convery the idea.

BTW - that Son of Frankenstein in the red grouping is a CGC graded still in the mylar.

PS - LarryW7 - finally got an original Wolf Man 1941 lobby!

I picked this one up awhile back.  This one is from 1921.  It's Karloff's 11th film, and most of the previous appearances were as extras or bit parts.  It's possible this is the earliest film for which Karloff appears in a lobby card (or I should say cards... since I know there is at least one other card from this movie that features him).

Great looking card!  There is definitely a card out there from Prince & Betty that features Karloff (Mike Hawks has it, I don't have an image) which is probably his earliest card, and there is a card from Deadlier Sex and at least one from Hope Diamond Mystery. Definitely a difficult task to try and track any of them down though.

Thanks!  It's amazing the info available on these boards.  At 1919, Prince & Betty would be a good bet at earliest, then.
