Auction History Result 5j125 RAIN OR SHINE WC 1930 early Frank Capra, great colorful circus art of Joe Cook! Date Sold 4/3/2018 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Unfolded Window Card Movie Poster (WC; measures 14" x 22" [36 x 56 cm]) (Learn More) Rain or Shine, the 1930 Frank Capra circus inheritance romantic comedy ("The laugh sensation of the season!"; "A Comedy Cyclone of Circus Life"; "Adapted from the Play by James Gleason and Maurice Marks"; about a woman whose father owns a circus, and then he dies, and she inherits it and has great trouble keeping it going) starring Joe Cook, Louise Fazenda, Joan Peers, William Collier Jr., and Tom Howard. Note that this was Frank Capra's last comedy of this sort, a throwback to his days writing for Harry Langdon. It has much in common with W.C. Fields' "You Can't Cheat an Honest Man", including a scene where the circus performers wreck a fancy dinner party with their antics. Also note that Joe Cook was a vaudeville juggler and performer who, in 1930, at the age of 40, was signed by Columbia to recreate one of his vaudeville routines, and he appeared in a total of 8 movies, and he had the starring role in "Arizona Mahoney" in 1936, and in this one, but his other six roles were in shorts.

Often window cards would be folded across the middle, because that would make them 11" x 14", and they could then be sent with standard folded posters. Most collectors put an added value on a window card that has never been folded. Condition: fair. There is unfortunate paper loss in the top right corner, but it mostly only affects the text in that area (see our image). We previously auctioned a complete example of this card (the only other one we have ever auctioned), and we can provide the high bidder on this card with a scan of that card, which would greatly aid in the restoration.
