An Original Vintage Theatrical Unfolded Window Card Movie Poster (WC; measures 14" x 22" [36 x 56 cm]) (Learn More) Wonder Bar, the 1934 Lloyd Bacon all-star romantic musical ("Warner Bros' Wonder Show of the Century"; "Numbers created and directed by Busby Berkeley"; this movie included many of Warner Brothers' top stars at the time) starring Al Jolson, Kay Francis, Dolores Del Rio, Ricardo Cortez, Dick Powell, Guy Kibbee, Hal Le Roy, Hugh Herbert, Ruth Donnelly, and Fifi D'Orsay. Note that this movie is very controversial because of Al Jolson appearing in blackface, but even more so because of the giant production number "Going to Heaven on a Mule", where around a hundred white actors appear in angel costumes in blackface, and worn out plantation worker Al Jolson (in blackface) enters Heaven with his mule, and both are given their wings. This movie is rarely shown for all of the above reasons. 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 window card was never folded. Often window cards would be folded across the middle, because that would make them 11" x 14", and they could then be sent with standard folded posters. Most collectors put an added value on a window card that has never been folded. Condition: fair. The entire card has darkening and faint staining scattered throughout. There are nail holes with surface paper loss near the right corners and some surface paper loss scattered in the image, with two more nail holes in the lower left. Please do not bid on this card unless you can accept its defects described above or are willing to pay to have them properly restored! Learn More about condition grades
