An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 29" x 42" [74 x 107 cm]) (Learn More) The Turn of the Wheel, the 1918 Reginald Barker silent Monte Carlo Monaco gambling romantic murder mystery melodrama (about a rich woman vacationing in Monte Carlo, and she meets a man who has just gambled away all his money and is broke and about to commit suicide, and she gives him money to continue gambling with, and he recovers all his losses and they fall in love, but then he is arrested for the murder of his ex-wife, and he refuses to defend himself, but the woman stands by him and helps him clear his name) starring Geraldine Farrar, Herbert Rawlinson, Percy Marmont, Violet Heming, and Hassard Short NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that ANY movie paper from this movie is incredibly rare. Our consignor found two examples of this poster, and we auctioned the other one, which was in slightly better condition than this one, and it auctioned for $132. Now we are auctioning this second example, the only other one, and other than these two posters, we have never auctioned even a single movie paper item from this movie until we received these two posters! In the late 1910s through the early 1930s, MGM (and sometimes Paramount and a couple of other studios) would often make a regular one-sheet for a movie and, instead of a second style regular one-sheet, would instead make a special "rotogravure" one-sheet. Named after the rotogravure picture sections at the time popular in Sunday newspapers, these one-sheets would be printed in a single color, often sepia, but sometimes other colors, and they would usually incorporate pictorial images from the movie combined in a montage fashion. Very few rotogravure one-sheet have survived, since they were printed on the same paper stock used in newspapers of the time, and the paper is very fragile and often darkens. Also note that this one-sheet measures 29" x 42" [74 x 107 cm]. Condition: fair. The poster has much water staining, with tears and tiny paper loss on parts of most folds and in the borders. The poster was folded very oddly, and will need to be sent in a flat package that measures approximately 14" x 16", which is why it is in this set of auctions and not our regular folded one-sheet auctions.
