Here are a few Publicity Stills taken for RKO's Tall in the Saddle (1944), starring John Wayne and Ella Raines. Publicity stills were specially-posed photos, usually taken off the set, for purposes of publicity or reference for promotional artwork.

A Dangerous Profession - Lobby Card Set

Here is a set of Lobby Cards from RKO's A Dangerous Profession (1949), starring George Raft and Pat O'Brien. Lobby Cards were 11" x 14" posters that came in sets of 8. As the name implies, they were most often displayed in movie theater lobbies, to advertise current or coming attractions.

Second Face, The (1950) -- (Movie Clip) I've Come To My Senses We don’t get any look at heroine Ella Raines in the opening, chasing Claire (Rita Johnson) around LA in a panic then getting in a wreck, in the Eagle-Lion production, from a story and screenplay by the later-acclaimed Swiss-born writer Eugene Vale, The Second Face, 1950.

Second Face, The (1950) -- (Movie Clip) Took Away Some Flesh And Skin Ending the elaborate flashback in which Ella Raines played Phyllis, a talented but un-prepossessing fashion designer who got into a car wreck, first with her surgeon (Mauritz Hugo), then with shop owner Grandon Rhodes, who earlier found her unsatisfactory, in The Second Face, 1950.

Second Face, The (1950) -- (Movie Clip) She's Just Not My Type This is meant to be the homely version of the heroine, Ella Raines as Phyllis from Fresno, appearing in Los Angeles where Claire (Rita Johnson), friend of a friend, awaits with her Allan (Roy Roberts) and fickle bachelor Jerry (John Sutton), in the Eagle-Lion feature The Second Face, 1950.
