An Original Vintage Theatrical Window Card Movie Postr (WC; measures 13" x 21") (Learn More) Java Head, the 1923 George Melford silent interracial romance romantic love triangle melodrama ("Adapted by Waldemar Young from the novel by Joseph Hergesheimer"; the sort of movie they don't make anymore, with good reason; an American man in Java is forced to marry a princess to keep him from being killed, and he takes her back to New England, and he tries to be faithful to her, but he really loves his American girlfriend, and his Asian wife commits suicide so he can be with his true love) starring Leatrice Joy, Jacqueline Logan, Raymond Hatton, George Fawcett, and Albert Roscoe. Note that Paramount was unwilling to cast a real Asian woman in the lead role, so they hired Leatrice Joy, who had been born in Louisiana, and who in no way appeared Asian! Also, 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 window card has been trimmed and it now measure 13" x 21". This window card was never folded. Often window cards would be folded across the middle, because that would make them 11" x 14", and they could then be sent with standard folded posters. Most collectors put an added value on a window card that has never been folded. Condition: good to very good. Approximately 1/2" was neatly trimmed from the left and right blank borders. There is a large faint water stain in the bottom left corner, but it only affects the tip of the artwork. Other than the above, the card is in surprisingly quite nice condition!
