An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded Australian Daybill Movie Poster (db; measures 13 1/4" x 30" [34 x 76 cm]) (Learn More) Houdini, the 1953 George Marshall romantic magician escape artist magic stage performer biography ("Produced by George Pal"; "Based on a Book by Harold Kellock"; a fictionalized account of the life of the world's most famous magician/escape artist) starring Tony Curtis (in the title role as Erik Weisz/Harry Houdini), Janet Leigh (as Bess Houdini), Torin Thatcher, Angela Clarke (as Houdini's mother), and Stefan Schnabel NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Artist: Richardson Studio Important Added Info: Note that we previously sold a stock Paramount Australian daybill that was overprinted with information for this movie, but we have never auctioned this really cool poster before! Also note that this daybill was used by The Orpheum theater in Sydney, Australia that originally opened in 1935! The theater featured art deco design, two levels and seating for 1735. The theater was sold in the 1970s and converted into a shopping center. Luckily, in 1986, it was lovingly restored and re-opened as the Hayden Orpheum! Condition: good. There is a snipe glued over the lower part of the image. There are some light brown stains in the borders, with pinholes in the corners and just a couple of tears. There are some light extra horizontal folds. Certainly, any talented restorer could remove the snipe (normally, I might not do this, because it is an historic theater, but in this case, it covers part of the cool image, so I would choose to do it, but of course that is up to the new owner). After that is done, and after linenbacking, the poster will look fantastic! Learn More about condition grades
