An Original Vintage Theatrical Unfolded Autographed Insert Movie Poster (measures 14" x 36" [36 x 91 cm]) (Learn More) Goin' To Town, the 1935 Alexander Hall romantic bad-woman-inherts-fortune-and-tries-to-become-a-lady musical comedy ("She's found a new way of doin' 'em wrong!"; "Streamlined for Speed!"; "West goes modern in a big way as the cattle queen who tires of bad men and muscles into high society to pick herself a good one!"; "Celebrate Mae Day"; a wacky story of a dance hall queen whose fiancee dies leaving her great wealth, and she tries to make herself into a "lady") starring Mae West, Paul Cavanagh, Gilbert Emery, Ivan Lebedeff, Tito Coral, Fred Kohler, Monroe Owsley, Grant Withers, Marjorie Gateson, and Vladimar Bykoff (billed as "Wladimir Baikoff"). Note that this movie was originally titled "Now I'm a Lady", and some stills were printed with that title. It was then changed to "How Am I Doin'?", and we don't know what material was printed with that title. Finally, the title was changed to "Goin' To Town", and that was the final title for the movie.

Important Added Info: Note that we have only previously auctioned one example of this insert, and this second example has been personally autographed (signed) by Mae West! Our consignor is a longtime collector who purchased this signed item from a reputable dealer. He does not have a certificate of authenticity, but we believe the signature to surely be authentic. Also note that this poster has never been machine folded! Some pre-1970 insert posters were machine folded twice horizontally at the poster exchange, while some were not. It can be difficult to find an unfolded example of many pre-1970 insert posters (note that most post-1970 inserts were NOT machine folded, so they are pretty much only found unfolded, and therefore this does not apply to those inserts). Condition: good to very good. The poster was never folded. It had paper loss in the bottom right blank corner and in the left of the bottom border, slightly affecting the small writing. It had paper loss in a small area in the left and right borders, just touching the edge of the background. It had two tears in the right border and a few creases around the edges. It had a few smudges and scuffs scattered in the image. Someone taped paper to the back of the two tears in the bottom border, but otherwise did no restoration to this poster. Because the defects are primarily in the blank borders, it can be displayed and enjoyed exactly as it is, or certainly, restoration can be performed. Either way, the new owner will have one of the best Mae West posters there is to display on their wall, and it is signed, too! Learn More about condition grades
