This piece of disposable advertising, a mere "midget window card" (size 8 x 14 inches), was sold in July by Heritage Auction Galleries for $7,767.50. Note the hand-written information along the top. While not a screening I attended (during September of 1935), The Lyceum was a theatre I knew years later, because Gull Lake was a resort community where my family vacationed every summer in Brainerd, Minnesota. "Bank Night" and its time consuming raffle for silly prizes was what Charley Chase spoofed when he made NEIGHBORHOOD HOUSE, the working title for which had been BANK NIGHT. Incidentally, Louis KO'd Carnera in the sixth round on June 25, 1935 at Yankee Stadium in New York.
