An Original Vintage Unfolded Stage Play Poster (measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) Money Mad, the 1920s Robert J. Sherman comedy melodrama stage play production ("A new comedy drama on our 'American Codfish Aristocracy'"; the "Codfish Aristocracy" were the nouveau riche of Massachusetts, who made fortunes in the cod business, and came to symbolize people who crashed high society thanks to their new found wealth). Robert J. Sherman was a very prolific playwright beginning in 1915, and after a three year service in World War I, he resumed writing plays, with at least 52 to his credit, and several were quite successful, with many different productions of them in various cities. He specialized in comic melodramas that satirized elements of then current society. Because this poster comes from a Kansas City litho company, we think it is quite likely this was from a Kansas City production of this play. If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this is one of a group of recently discovered stage play and movie posters from the 1920s, which are being auctioned now, each in their own separate auction. Each of the posters is unfolded, but all have varying degrees of damage around the edges (see our individual condition description of each). All can be professionally linenbacked and restored, but we wanted to offer them unrestored, both so that the bidders could see exactly what condition each poster is in, and also so that the high bidder of each poster could choose the restorer of their choice, plus decide how much restoration each poster should have! Condition: good to very good. The poster has some faint partial horizontal and vertical creases, but those were surely put there many decades ago, and they are quite light. There are tears and areas of paper loss around the edges of the poster, as seen in our image. Since there is very little paper loss that is not blank white paper, this will be an easy linenbacking and restoration! Learn More about condition grades
