LOBBY CARDS
Lobby cards were photographs containing movie scenes, usually on card stock,
or cardboard,
for movie goers to collect as they enter or exit a theatre. Many measured 11 X
14
and were designed to entice movie goers to purchase a ticket.
Posted below are several lobby cards from To Kill A Mockingbird. (Source:

Students might research: why were they produced in color,
when the film was in
black-and-white?
