An Original Vintage Theatrical Unfolded Half-Sheet Movie Poster (1/2sh; measures 22" x 28" [56 x 71 cm]) (Learn More) The Five Dollar Baby, the 1922 Harry Beaumont silent family comedy (based on the story by Irvin S. Cobb; about a tramp who finds a baby on a doorstep with a note promising riches when the child becomes eighteen but he decides to sell her to a Jewish pawnbroker for $5, and the pawnbroker rears her as his own; she turns eighteen and the tramp blackmails the pawnbroker but he is caught, and finds out that the "reward" was to "be received in heaven"!) starring Viola Dana, Ralph Lewis, Otto Hoffman, John Harron, Tom McGuire, and Arthur Rankin. Note that this is a "lost" film, which means that no surviving copies are thought to exist. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this is an extremely rare poster. We have never auctioned one in all our years of auctioning, and we have only auctioned a few lobby cards and a still from it but NO posters whatsoever! We are also auctioning another equally ultra rare style of half-sheet poster for this movie in a separate auction! Note that while this half-sheet is not nearly as fragile as many half-sheets from the 1920s, and it COULD conceivably be rolled, we highly recommend it be sent in a large flat package that measures 24" x 30". This will cost extra, and we will only send it rolled if the new buyer insists, and accepts responsibility if it becomes damaged during shipping. Condition: good to very good. The half-sheet was never folded. It has smudges and light stains around the edges with pinholes in the corners and small paper loss in the bottom left blank corner. Learn More about condition grades
