An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked Chapter #5 (Circle of Death) One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More)

The Lone Defender, the 1930 Richard Thorpe canine German Shepherd dog action adventure cowboy western serial ("A Mascot Production in twelve action-crammed chapters"; "All-Talking serial in twelve stirring chapters"; "A thrilling, all-talking serial in 12 chapters"; "A stirring all-talking serial in 12 chapters"; produced by Nat Levine) starring Rin-Tin-Tin (most famous of the movie dog stars, he was Warner Bros.' #1 star in their early lean years and the earnings from his movies kept the studio in the black!), Walter Miller, June Marlowe, Buzz Barton, Joseph Swickard, Lee Shumway, and Julia Bejarano. Note that this was the first Mascot serial to be released solely in a sound version. Also, in 1934, Mascot re-edited this serial into a feature-length film of the same name, and because this 1934 "feature version" was made four years after the serial version, and because it was highly edited, we are list it as a separate entry from this serial.
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 we have previously auctioned two other first release one-sheets from this serial, but we have never auctioned this chapter 5 one-sheet!

What IS linenbacking? Learn More

Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good. The poster had tears and areas of paper loss down the top half of the vertical fold, including in the woman's face and upper body. It had a smaller amount of tears and paper loss on the rest of the vertical fold and very little on the horizontal folds. It had tears and paper loss around the edges. Overall, the poster was in fair to good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was pretty well backed, but you can clearly see signs of the above defects and the restoration of the above defects.
