An Original Vintage Theatrical Unfolded Movie Window Card (WC; measures 14" x 22" [36 x 56 cm]) (Learn More) The Sea Beast, the 1926 Millard Webb silent seafaring ocean adventure thriller ("No picture ever had a greater star -No star ever had a greater picture"; "From the story 'Moby Dick' by Herman Melville") starring John Barrymore (as Captain Ahab Ceeley), Dolores Costello, George O'Hara, Mike Donlin, Sam Baker (as Queequeeq), and Sojin Kamiyama (as Fedallah). Note that the movie was not called "Moby Dick", and yet it is clearly based on that classic novel, and we don't know why they didn't call it "Moby Dick", unless they worried that people wouldn't know what the movie was about! If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Artist: MB Important Added Info: Note that we have only previously auctioned one example of this window card, and that was 16 years ago, when it sold for $610! Condition: good to very good. The card has stains in the top blank border and scattered in the left and right blank border. It has faint play dates stamped in the center of the top blank area. It had a 2 1/2" tear in the top border and someone put tape on the back. It appears that someone likely lightly bleached the card, but otherwise did no restoration. Learn More about condition grades
