Dance Magic, the 1927 Victor Hugo Halperin silent New York City Broadway theater stage acting romantic melodrama ("Adapted from the novel by Clarence Buddington Kelland"; about a small town girl who goes to Manhattan and manages to get a job in a chorus of a major show, and when the leading lady gets sick one night, the girl takes her place and becomes a star, similar to the later "42nd Street"; but when she returns to her small town, they condemn her for her sinful dancing, and she must go to her church and renounce her actions to the entire congregation!) starring Ben Lyon, Pauline Stark, Louis John Bartels, Isobel Elsom, and Harlan Knight. Note that this is a "lost" film which means that no surviving copies are thought to exist.

Important Added Info: Note that this poster has been paperbacked. What is paperbacking? This means the poster was backed onto a light paper backing (acid-free), that is similar in feel to that of the original poster (it means that the poster must be handled carefully, as the backing does not give it much added strength, but it is similar to having an unrestored poster, and yet it has been properly preserved). It is a similar process to linenbacking, except that most collectors use linenbacking for one-sheets and paperbacking for half-sheets, inserts, window cards.

Condition: very good to fine. Prior to paperbacking, the poster had never been folded. It had some faint scuffing scattered in the image, more so in the solid black background areas. There was some darkening in the lower left and lower right blank borders. Overall, the poster was in very good to fine condition prior to paperbacking. This poster was among the handful of posters that were in the absolute best condition from this find of inserts! The person who restored the poster did slight restoration to the blank borders, but otherwise left the image alone. The poster looks fantastic!
