Auction History Result 9h0375 HUCKLEBERRY FINN 1/2sh 1920 Mark Twain, image of Lewis Sargent in title role, ultra rare! Date Sold 7/11/2021 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Unfolded Half-Sheet Movie Poster (1/2sh; measures 22" x 28" [56 x 71 cm]) (Learn More) Huckleberry Finn, the 1920 William Desmond Taylor silent juvenile adventure comedy ("A New Mark Twain - Paramount Artcraft Picture"; based on the novel 'The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn' by Mark Twain) starring Lewis Sargent (in the title role as Huckleberry Finn), Katherine Griffith, Martha Mattox, Frank Lanning, Orral Humphrey, Gordon Griffith (as Tom Sawyer), George Reed (as Jim), Thelma Salter (as Becky Thatcher), and Esther Ralston (as Mary Jane Wilks). Note that this was the third of William Desmond Taylor's trilogy of films based on Mark Train's famous most famous characters (the very first screen adaptations from this book). The first was 1917's "Tom Sawyer", with Jack Pickford in the lead, and Robert Gordon as Huck Finn. The second was 1918's "Huck and Tom". This one, the third one, was made two more years later, and since Robert Gordon and Jack Pickford were now both painfully far too old to play teenagers, Lewis Sargent and Gordon Griffith took over the roles of Huckleberry Finn and Tom Sawyer.

We have never auctioned one in all our years of auctioning and we have only auctioned one lobby card and a few stills but no other posters! Note that this poster has never been machine folded! Some pre-1970 half-sheet posters were machine folded twice horizontally at the poster exchange, while some were not. It can be difficult to find an unfolded example of many pre-1970 half-sheet posters (note that most post-1970 half-sheets were NOT machine folded, so they are pretty much only found unfolded, and therefore this does not apply to those half-sheets). Condition: good. The poster has paper loss and a few tears of varying lengths around the edges. The largest tear is at lower center and that tear (as well as two at right) is backed by white tape. There is a tear at top that extends into Sargent's hair at upper center. Please see our super-sized image to get a good sense of the condition of this very rare poster prior to placing a bid.
