Auction History Result 3j0443 PADDY O'DAY linen 40x60 1936 Jane Withers & Rita Hayworth when she was Rita Cansino, rare! Date Sold 12/20/2022 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked Forty by Sixty Movie Poster (40x60; measures 40" x 60" [102 x 152 cm]) (Learn More) Paddy O'Day, the 1935 Lewis Seiler New York City Irish immigrant juvenile musical comedy melodrama (about a young Irish immigrant girl who comes to New York to live with her mother, but her mother passes away right before she arrives, so she goes "on the run", and she gets involved with a Russian dancer and the dancer's friends, who are opening a nightclub) starring Jane Withers (in the title role as Paddy O'Day), Pinky Tomlin, Rita Hayworth (in only her second real role, after several uncredited or dancing bit parts; billed as "Rita Cansino", which was her real name, playing the Russian dancer), Jane Darwell, and George Givot. Note that after the movie opened, "Weekly Variety" ran the following: "Rita Cansino comes along nicely in this, though she is better known as a dancer than a player. She has two dance bits, both Russian, the last on a tasteful production number that actually fits the stage on which it's supposed to be played!" 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 only previously auctioned one example of this Meloy Bros 40x60, and that was 12 years ago! However, like most Meloy Bros. posters, that poster was mounted to a very heavy board, and therefore had to be sent to the winning bidder in a very large flat package. But the owner of this poster did something very special with it! After he acquired it, he gave it to an expert restorer, who removed it from the heavy board and linenbacked it, which means that it can now be rolled and sent in a tube that measures 42" long. This also allowed the restorer to perform restoration to the poster, so it displays really well, which gives it a big plus over the ones on a heavy board! VERY IMPORTANT! CLICK ON THIS LINK TO READ FULL INFORMATION ABOUT THESE SPECIAL POSTERS, but ignore the part about being on heavy boards, because it does not apply, since this was removed from the board and linenbacked. What IS linenbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good. In removing the poster from the board (see above), the poster sustained some tears and paper loss in scattered areas, and it had some smudges scattered throughout. Overall, the poster was in good condition prior to linenbacking. Please look at our super-sized image to get a sense of the poster's current defects before bidding on it.
