    A lobby card for the movie "Gun Moll". The card is comprised of a black-and-white image of four men standing around a desk in an office talking. Three of the men are wearing suits and hats and one man is wearing a tux. The man in the tux has his thumb extended and wide eyes and he is looking at the man opposite him who has his arm extended at his side and his palm facing up. On the desk are telephones, papers and pens. In the background another desk is visible as our curtains and blinds on a window. In the lower proper left corner there is text that reads ["GUN MOLL"/ FORMERLY RELEASED UNDER THE TITLE OF "GANG SMASHERS"/ WITH NINA MAE/ MCKINNEY/ DISTRIBUTED BY TODDY PICTURES].
