An Original Vintage Theatrical Window Card Movie Poster (WC; measures 14" x 22") (Learn More) Craig's Wife, the 1928 William C. de Mille romantic melodrama ("Adapted by Clara Beranger from the stage play by George Kelly"; about a woman who cares about material success above all else, and puts keeping her home ahead of helping her husband, who is falsely accused of murder!) starring Irene Rich (in the title role as Harriet Craig), Warner Baxter (in the title role as Walter Craig), Virginia Bradford, Carroll Nye, Lilyan Tashman, and George Irving. Note that this was the first adaptation of this Pulitzer Prize-winning play. The second was in 1936, with the same name, with Rosalind Russell starring, and the third was re-titled "Harriet Craig" in 1950, and had Joan Crawford starring. Also note that Warner Baxter was born in 1889, and in the early 1920s he rose to prominence in silent movies, becoming a major star of the 1920s, while he was in his 30s. He won the Oscar for Best Actor as The Cisco Kid in "In Old Arizona" in 1929, and he remained a top star throughout the 1930s! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Artist: Hill Important Added Info: 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: good. The entire card has darkened slightly unevenly, and there are tears in the bottom border, extending into the credits. There are water stains on the back of the card that do not show through to the front. The card is fragile and would greatly benefit from being professionally paperbacked and restored!
