Original 11x14-inch duotone title lobby card was produced to promote the 1945 Columbia sci-fi / horror / robot serial, MONSTER AND THE APE, which starred Robert Lowery, George Macready, Ralph Morgan, Carole Mathews, Willie Best, Jack Ingram, Anthony Warde, Ted Mapes, Eddie Parker, Stanley Price, Bud Osborne and Ray Corrigan. The chapter play was directed by Howard Bretherton. This is an original studio-produced movie item -- NOT a copy or reproduction. The title card -- from chapter 4 of the series -- features a great main image of the robot monster doing battle with a killer gorilla, with various other smaller scenes from the serial.
