The Thirteenth Chair, the 1937 George B. Seitz England clairvoyant seance murder mystery crime melodrama ("From the play by Bayard Veiller"; "The screen dares new thrills!"; "The screen mystery that defies solution... just as the stage play held audiences breathless, spellbound for 40 weeks!"; "13 WERE ALIVE... when the lights went out!"; about a phony clairvoyant who holds a seance and one of the people is murdered, and Scotland Yard investigates the case, but the medium brings the remaining people together for a second seance, trying to scare the guilty party into revealing themselves) starring May Whitty (billed as "Dame May Whitty"; as the clairvoyant/medium), Madge Evans, Lewis Stone, Elissa Landi, Thomas Beck, Henry Daniell, Janet Beecher, and Ralph Forbes. Note that this was based on a very successful 1916 Broadway play that had been filmed in 1919, and was remade in 1929, by Tod Browning, and this was the third remake!

What IS linenbacking? Learn More

Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good. The poster had separation, smudges, and a few tiny tears on parts of some foldlines. It had a pinhole in each corner and paper loss near the middle of the left blank border. Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was nicely backed, and displays well!
