Maidens! Merriment!") starring Bud Abbott, Lou Costello (Abbott and Costello), Marilyn Maxwell, John Conte, Douglass Dumbrille, Jimmy Dorsey & His Orchestra, and Lock Martin (billed as "J. Lockhard Martin"; in his film debut). Note that Martin was a giant at 7' 4" (some reports suggest 7' 7"!), and he later also played "Gort" in "The Day the Earth Stood Still", before passing away in 1959 at the age of 42.

Condition: very good. This poster was linenbacked, and one of the following is true: either the poster had minor defects, and was well backed, OR it had more significant defects, but they were extremely well restored, OR it had some very minor defects that were not completely restored, and are somewhat noticeable. You can tell which of the above is the case for this particular poster by reading our "pre-restoration" description and also by looking at our "super-sized" image of the actual poster (we are the only major auction company we know of that gives accurate detailed pre-restoration information about linenbacked posters to our bidders, but we wish everyone did!). Note that we gave this condition grade to a very few posters that were in pretty good condition prior to linenbacking, but which were not all that well linenbacked, and which could be fairly easily re-backed with only minor additional restoration. The poster had tiny paper loss at the crossfolds and minor wear on the foldlines. There is a light water stain at the top of the vertical foldline. Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was well backed, but the restorer did not attempt to touch up the water stain at the top of the poster (but it is solely in the background area and is not very distracting).
