An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 40 3/4" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More)

The Return of Chandu (The Magician), the 1934 Ray Taylor black magic fantasy horror serial sequel ("He's back! The Master of Magic and Thrills"; "with a Distinguished Cast") starring Bela Lugosi (in the title role as Chandu), Maria Alba, Murdock MacQuarrie, Phyllis Ludwig, and Clara Kimball Young. Note that Chandu the Magician was a radio show that started airing in Los Angeles in 1931, and went nationwide the following year. That was also when a movie adaptation, called Chandu the Magician, was made. Two years later, this sequel, The Return of Chandu, was made, and this time, Bela Lugosi played the lead role, after having a supporting role in the prequel. The show went off the air in 1936. It was revived in 1948 as a 15 minute show and ran for two years.

If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know.
Important Added Info: Note that this one-sheet measures 27" x 40 3/4" [69 x 104 cm].

Condition: poor to fair. The poster has multiple areas of paper loss near the center (see our image). It also has a pencil grid drawn over much of the image (theaters would do this to a poster so that they could recreate the image on a billboard area, having each artist draw a square of the grid). Obviously, this poster is in MUCH lesser condition, so bear this in mind before bidding.
