Thanks for that, Peter. Just to clarify: Are you saying this set is likely from
the original release because the movie was later retitled "The Vice Racket"?
Bruce has a WC with that title on it from a later re-release. Obviously I would
be delighted if this turns out to be a rare original release set.

Dave,
They're almost certainly from the first release. It played from late
'36 into '39 and then sporadically into the early '40s (probably as a states
rights/roadshow release) as "Gambling With Souls."

Hi, folks:
I just acquired a lobby set for the 1936 exploitation flick Gambling
With Souls. I believe it's for a re-release, possibly 1940s, but that's only
based on my comparing the title art to the art on the original release 1-sheets
and WCs pictured in Bruce's archives. (According to the databases, Bruce has
never sold any lobbies for the title and Heritage has never sold anything from
it.)
Here's the title card:

If anyone has any clue as to the year of release, please let me know.
Btw, as it happens, the tc is the only card in the set with any
condition issues, the other seven cards are pristine!
Thanks for any help,
Dave
