An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) Two Minutes to Go, the 1921 Charles Ray silent romantic college football sports melodrama ("By Richard Andres"; "Make that touchdown if you love me!"; about a star college football player whose father loses most of his money, and he has to go to work as a milkman in the early morning hours, which causes him to quit the team, and he keeps it secret from the other players and his girlfriend, but the head cheerleader discovers his secret, and she convinces him to come back for the championship game, and he does, but he plays poorly, until he gets both a telegram from his father saying he has made back all his money AND a note from his girlfriend forgiving him, at which point he leads his team to victory!) starring Charles Ray, Mary Anderson, Lionel Belmore, Lincoln Stedman, and Truman Van Dyke. Note that the star of the movie, Charles Ray, also directed it! Also note that this is the very earliest "football" movie we have seen a poster from. There were lots of baseball movies in the 1910s and 1920s, but it took until this time before football gained enough of a following to where they made a movie about it (but by the late 1920s, there were lots of football movies, and that continued into the 1930s and 1940s). NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good to very good. The poster had tiny paper loss at the crossfolds and some tiny tears and tiny bits of paper loss on parts of some foldlines. It had pinholes, tears, faint stains, and smudges around the edges. Someone once wrote the word "COMING" in the left of the top blank border. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was simply backed onto a thin linen with no excess and little restoration. If I owned this wonderful poster, I would surely have it professionally removed from the thin linen and properly backed, after which it will look incredible! Learn More about condition grades
