Lobby card to the Three Stooges 1938 short Mutts To You . This is one of only two lobby cards we have ever seen from this film and it may be the only extant example of this particular scene card. Mutts To You was the Stooges' thirty-fourth short and their penultimate film of 1938. The plot involves the trio as dog groomers who mistakenly find a baby on a doorstep that they think is abandoned, not knowing that the mother had locked herself out of the house and was around back looking for a spare key. Later, they are mistaken for the baby's kidnappers. To hide from the police, Curly has to dress up as a woman and pretend he's the baby's mother. This film is notable for the fact that it was directed and produced by legendary silent-screen comedian Charley Chase. The card (14 x 11 inches) has benefitted from professional restoration to both tack holes and small edge tears along the border areas, and is otherwise in Excellent to Mint appearance. SOLD FOR $3,600
