An Original Undated (from the mid 1920s) Vintage Theatrical Unfolded Personality Poster (measures 20 1/2" x 26 1/2" [52 x 67 cm]) (Learn More) Bebe Daniels was an actress from the 1910s to the 1930s. She had a long and fascinating career! She was born in 1901, and by 4, she was a stage actress, and had a leading stage role at the age of 7, and started in movies soon after. When she was 14, Hal Roach picked her to be Harold Lloyd's leading lady in the "Lonesome Luke" shorts! Cecil B. DeMille signed her away to Paramount, and she was one of the few major silent stars who had no trouble transitioning to sound (she was also an excellent singer), and she became a bigger star in musicals like "Rio Rita" and "42nd Street". In 1930, she married Ben Lyon, and after her marriage, she made few movies. Some of her other movies include: Counselor at Law, Why Change Your Wife?, and Bumping Into Broadway. She passed away in 1971 at the age of 70. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this poster originally measured 22" x 28", with a very large blank border. Someone trimmed off most of the blank border and it now measures 20 1/2" x 26 1/2" [52 x 67 cm]. Personality posters were created in the 1910s, 1920s, 1930s, and early 1940s. All of the major studios created sets of these that usually measured exactly 22" x 28". Most often they were taller than they were wide, but occasionally they would be horizontal. It is interesting to note that the image on these posters is often very close to actual life-size! While at least several hundred different special personality posters were made between the 1910s and early 1940s, few are known to have survived, as few theaters ordered them, and fewer still saved them! There were two sets of personality posters created by Paramount Pictures. One was made in the mid 1920s (on regular "half-sheet-like" paper), and the other was made in the early 1930s (on a linen-like paper), and they continued making them for several years in the mid 1930s. Posters from either of these sets are far more rare than those from MGM (perhaps because they made less of them than MGM did). Note that this item needs to be shipped in an oversized flat package. If it is a size that might ordinarily be rolled in a tube (like a half-sheet), the reason it is in this auction is specifically because we feel it either CAN'T be rolled or because we feel it would be a mistake to roll it, because it might well damage the item. In the case of the few items that could be rolled, we will roll the item in a tube if the new owner insists, but only if they accept that they can't return the item if it is damaged from being rolled. So please bear in mind that this item must be sent in a LARGE flat package (the size of the package will depend on the size of the item), and bear this added expense in mind before placing a bid on it. Condition: good. Most of the blank borders were trimmed off (see above). The poster was folded across the middle, with 2" of separation at the right end of that fold. There are four tears in the left border, extending into the background, that were repaired with tape from the back. Learn More about condition grades
