In recent years lobby cards and front of house sets have grown in popularity as movie memorabilia. Lobby cards made their first appearance in the early 1910s around the time that Charlie Chaplin was breaking into motion pictures and are usually 14x11 inches in size. They were used to promote a movie in the cinema but sadly, lobby card sets were gradually phased out in 1980's by the major film distributors in the USA and are no longer printed for distribution. Front of House Sets or stills, as they are sometimes know, are now used and are usually in sets of eight different 10x8" scene stills that were used for display outside UK movie theatres in glass boxes. A lobby card set typically consists of one title card which was a lobby card of special design and includes all the main stars of the movie, the listing credits and also seven scene cards each showing a different scene from the movie. These are highly collectable movie memorabilia and are now very hard to find on many movies.
