An Original Vintage Theatrical Unfolded Half-Sheet Movie Poster (1/2sh; measures 22" x 28" [56 x 71 cm]) (Learn More)

Her First Elopement, the 1920 Sam Wood silent romantic love triangle marriage melodrama ("Adapted from the story by Alice Duer Miller"; a wacky story about a rich man who falls for a gold digging "snake dancer", and his pretty cousin goes to where she lives to try to stop the relationship, but she ends up falling in love instead) starring Wanda Hawley, Jerome Patrick, Nell Craig, Jay Eaton, and Helen Dumbar

If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know.
Important Added Info: Note that this is an extremely rare poster. We have never auctioned one in all our years of auctioning (and we have auctioned only one lobby card for this movie in 2006 and no other posters!). It is one of a collection of 25 silent half-sheets we are currently auctioning, in 25 separate auctions. Most of these are beyond rare, and many are likely "one of a kind"! This poster was never folded and it is fragile enough that it absolutely should not be rolled or attempted to be rolled. Therefore, it needs to be sent in a very large flat package that measures approximately 24" x 30". Please bear this added shipping expense in mind before bidding on this poster.

Condition: fair to good. The poster was never folded. It has stains and pinholes around the edges. Someone cut out most of the title (no doubt becuase they used the poster when they showed a different Wanda Hawley movie)
