An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded Rotogravure One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 28" x 42") (Learn More) An Adventure in Hearts, the 1919 James Cruze silent romantic spy espionage adventure thriller ("A dashing American adventurer - a lady in distress -- battles to be fought and hearts to be won!........... and there's excitement in every minute of it!"; "Adapted from 'Captain Dieppe' by Anthony Hope"; "Scenario by Elmer Harris"; produced by Jesse L. Lasky) starring Robert Warwick (as Captain Dieppe), Juan de la Cruz, Winifred Greenwood, Helene Chadwick, and Walter Long. Note that this is a "lost" film, which means that no surviving copies are thought to exist. 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 this is one of a very interesting group of silent one-sheets from the late 1910s and early 1920s that were found under a carpet in a VERY old house! We have no idea why, but at some point in the early 1920s, someone took around 30 one-sheet posters and placed them in a stack under a carpet (perhaps to hide them?). They stayed there undisturbed for the next 75 or so years, until someone ripped up the carpet and found them. MANY OF THE POSTERS HAD SUSTAINED CONSIDERABLE DAMAGE, WHILE OTHERS WERE NOT THAT DAMAGED AT ALL. All of these posters absolutely need expert professional restoration (obviously, some will require much more restoration than others), but in many cases, the poster we are offering may well be the only surviving example of that poster, so it would seem they are all well worth "rescuing". But please do not bid on any of these posters unless you have read our description of their condition, and have carefully studied our super-sized image, and unless you are prepared to pay to have the poster properly restored. Note that some of the posters measure different sizes (some may be trimmed) and we have noted their sizes. Finally, note that this one-sheet measures 28" x 42". Please do not bid on this poster thinking it is 27" x 41". Condition: poor. This poster is in urgent need of professional restoration! There is discoloration and staining throughout the poster. There are many tack holes scattered throughout the poster and there are some small areas of paper loss around the edges. Please do not bid on this poster unless you are willing to accept its defects or have it restored! Learn More about condition grades
