Auction History Result 4k471 SOB SISTER WC '31 artwork of James Dunn staring at sexy Linda Watkins with leg outstretched! Date Sold 8/30/2011 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded Window Card Movie Poster (WC; measures 14" x 22") (Learn More) Sob Sister, the 1931 Alfred Santell newspaper journalism romantic crime melodrama ("from novel By Mabel Gilman"; about a female newspaper reporter who constantly gets in trouble, and her rival at the newspaper, who naturally falls in love with her) starring James Dunn, Linda Watkins, Molly O'Day, Minna Gombell, Howard Phillips, and Wally Albright (six years old and later a member of Hal Roach's "Our Gang"!). Note that this was Linda Watkins' first movie, and she had the co-starring role. She had previously acted in Broadway shows, and Hollywood was searching for stage actors for their sound movies, and she seemed a natural. She appeared in six movies between 1931 and 1933 (and she had the lead female role starting with her very first movie!), but her stage success did not translate well to the screen, and she had married in 1932 and began having children, and she retired from making movies in 1933 (and she returned to the Broadway stage, and she was a voice-over regular on the popular 1930s radio series "Gangbusters"). After her three children had grown in the late 1950s, she returned to the screen, mostly appearing on TV as a character actress! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography.

Note that the window card was folded across the center at one time. Because the foldline is such that it has diminished over time, we don't want to re-fold the window card prior to mailing, because we believe that re-folding the window card would lessen its condition (we never roll window cards into a tube). If you specifically request it, we will re-fold this window card, but you will not be able to return it. Condition: good to very good. 1" was trimmed from the top blank area. The card was folded across the middle and there are some creases and a few dots of surface paper loss in that fold, and some dot water stains scattered in the middle of the left of the card.
