A Linenbacked Original Vintage Movie Trade Ad (measures 12 1/4" x 18 3/4" [31 x 48 cm]) (Learn More) Roland West's The Bat Whispers, the 1930 Roland West crime murder mystery thriller ("Ooh! What thrills what laughs what drama"; "From the stage play by Mary Roberts Rinehart and Avery Hopwood"; about a weird master criminal who wears a hooded costume and is known as "The Bat", and he hides out in an isolated large house in the country and kills one of the occupants and takes his place, and the police must discover who is really The Bat!) starring Chester Morris (in a dual role as Detective Anderson and The Bat!), Chance Ward, Una Merkel, Richard Tucker, and Wilson Benge. Note that this was a virtual remake of the 1926 silent movie, "The Bat", as it had pretty much the same plot. We have heard that the comic book character "Batman" was inspired by the lead character from this movie (although, of course, here he was a villain). NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that this two-page trade ad appeared in an exhibitor magazine in 1930. The ad had printing on the reverse, and the person who backed it wisely used black rice paper behind it rather than white rice paper, because that makes the "bleed-through" from the writing on the back far less than it would be had they used white paper (see our image). What IS linenbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good. The trade ad had been folded across the middle, and it had some very minor wear. Overall, the trade ad was in very good condition prior to linenbacking. The trade ad was nicely backed, and displays well! Learn More about condition grades
