An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) The Hot Dog Special, the 1924 Edward Laemmle silent horse racing sports short ("Story by Gerald Beaumont"; one of the Fast Steppers series of comedy shorts) starring Billy Sullivan ("as The 'Information Kid'"), Shannon Day, James Quinn, Bert Woodruff, and Duke R. Lee. Note that director Edward Laemmle has been largely forgotten by film history, but he has a VERY interesting biography! He is the nephew of Carl Laemmle, who persuaded him to leave his electrical engineering career in 1915 and join him at his recently opened Universal Studios. He started as an assistant director, mainly under John Ford. In 1917, he went to New Guinea to produce a movie about the natives there, and was shipwrecked, and spent two years among the Kia Kia cannibals! This adventure was re-created in the movie "Shipwrecked Among Cannibals", which became the first million dollar movie for Universal Studios. Edward Laemmle went on to direct roughly 50 movies, and had many famous assistants, including William Wyler! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography.

Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good to very good. The poster had paper loss in three borders, but most of it was in the blank borders, although it extended into the "TE" of "STEPPERS" at top center. Otherwise, the poster had only minor fold wear. Overall, the poster was in good condition prior to linenbacking. A talented restorer did a really nice job of replacing the missing borders and restoring the top center paper loss, and the poster displays really well! Learn More about condition grades
