Description

Broadway (Universal, 1929). Very Fine+. Lobby Card Set of 10 (11" X 14") & Deluxe Photo (11" X 14.25").
An early "talkie," this film, directed by Paul Fejos, is a story of guns and gangsters set against the backdrop of a Broadway cabaret. Particularly notable is the use of a camera crane, invented by the director specifically for use on this film. This groundbreaking innovation, which was to become a cinematic staple in the years to come, allowed for previously unseen panoramic shots and fluid motions that made this movie stand out from the crowd in 1929. These cards feature some outstanding Art Deco border art. Impossibly rare, this is the only set we're aware of to be issued with three different title cards! Starring Glenn Tryon, Evelyn Brent, Merna Kennedy, Thomas E. Jackson, and more. The cards exhibit rounded corners and edge wear and the deluxe photo has corner chips and pinholes.
