An Original Vintage Theatrical Window Card Movie Poster (WC; measures 14" x 18 1/2") (Learn More) 4 Clowns, the 1970 Robert Youngson comedy compilation of silent classics ("These are the 4 clowns who made the Roaring 20's ROAR!"; "The Film That Welcomes Back The BELLY LAUGH!"; "Produced by Robert Youngson winner of two Academy Awards") starring Stan Laurel ("The Bow"), Oliver Hardy ("The Fiddle"; Laurel & Hardy), Buster Keaton ("The Great Stone Face"; "Pursued by brides and boulders in the greatest chase the screen has known."), Charley Chase ("Playboy of the Flapper Age"; "The eternal 'Good Time Charley' whose elk's tooth had a cavity."; primarily remembered as a great silent comedian who appeared in 276 movies, most of them comedy shorts, Chase also directed 140 comedy shorts), and narrated by Jay Jackson. Note that compiler Robert Youngson apparently was unable or unwilling to acquire the rights to include Charlie Chaplin clips in this movie, so he sneakily included some clips of Billy West, who was a Chaplin imitator, which allowed some of the distributors of the movie to include an image of "Chaplin" on the poster (which was actually Billy West, but nobody viewing the poster could possibly know that!).

Important Added Info: The window card originally had a blank top that was neatly trimmed off (this was commonly done with window cards, when the top had been left blank, or when someone had hand-scrawled play date information in that area). Most collectors do not consider it to be a significant defect at all, since only blank white paper is lost, and the window card becomes easier to frame. 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: very good. Other than the trimming of the blank top , the card is in pretty nice condition!
