Bruce and I were talking about these cards just the other day, and he has what looks to be (from the small scan in his archives) an unrestored one that has the angled airplane and no 1937 re-release information. But the colors on the card are certainly different from the colors on the 1930 release cards that are in the Heritage archives. http://www.emovieposter.com/imagearchive/poster/154036.html
Since this movie was released towards the end of 1930, I wonder if the card above might be from 1931 - perhaps UA updated the campaign at that point and did the angled airplane logo that was then used again in 1937? But I really don't know. ----- Original Message ----- From: Bruce Hershenson To: [email protected] Sent: Saturday, April 24, 2010 5:17 PM Subject: Re: [MOPO] Hell's Angels lobby 30 or 37 ? If Grey is correct (and it certainly is possible he is), then I have been sold cards so expertly altered that I was fooled (and even before Mendez, there were other unscrupulous restorers who did such criminal alterations). I will do as I always do in these situations and look back over the images of EVERY Hell's Angels card we EVER sold and examine them, and if we find any suspicious ones, we will e-mail the buyers of those cards and offer them a refund or price adjustment, even if its been ten or twenty years. There's no "buyer beware" at eMoviePoster.com.

All of the cards I have dealt with over the past twenty plus years on this title have the original cards having the artwork in the vertical attitude with the only info in the borders in the lower right saying, "Country of Origin, U.S.A." The 1937 reissue cards are always dated in the lower right with the plane at an angle and a United Artist blurb at the lower left explaining that the advertising material is the property of UA. They used the exact same photos for each release on both sets. I would be interested to see cards that prove otherwise as would be a new one on me. http://movieposters.ha.com/common/search_results.php?N=54+790+231+&Ne=&D=hell%27s+angels+lobby&Ntx=mode%2Bmatchall&Ns=&Nf=&Nty=1&Ntt=hell%27s+angels+lobby&Ntk=SI_Titles -----Original Message----- From: MoPo List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Dave Rosen Sent: Saturday, April 24, 2010 12:48 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [MOPO] Hell's Angels lobby 30 or 37 ?
