Auction History Result 5y1266 MELODY MASTER BANDS 1sh 1932 Vitaphone, great full-length art of sexy female band major! Date Sold 2/13/2024 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) Melody Master Bands, the 1932 Vitaphone musical short subject ("Saturday night swing club") series that featured music from Clyde McCoy, Larry Clinton, Dave Apollon, Jimmy Dorsey, Clyde Lucas, Rubinoff, and Dona Drake (billed as "Rita Rio"). Apparently, this series began in 1932, and Vitaphone made a stock one-sheet that year. They apparently made a completely different stock one-sheet every other year until at least 1948! The ones we have seen are from 1932, 1936, 1940, and 1948 (so we know the series ran for at least those years!). If anyone knows more about this series, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Note that this is a "stock" poster created by Vitaphone for use for all entries of their "Melody Master Bands" series. Theaters would order this poster, which had a blank area at the bottom. They would be sent a series of large paper snipes with the titles of specific entries of the series, and they could paste in each snipe as needed, thus getting many posters for the price of one. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Condition: good. The poster has creases scattered in various areas (especially at right where there are some diagonal creases). It has creases and tiny tears along portions of some blank borders. There is conservation tape on back of the left edge of center horizontal fold and at the bottom crossfold with a small piece behind the creases at right. It is otherwise "all there" and after proper restoration the poster will display well, but bear in mind the poster's condition and the cost of restoration before bidding on it.
