An Original Vintage Linenbacked Special Movie Poster (measures 16" x 23 3/4" [41 x 60 cm]) (Learn More)

Lady Of The Pavements, the 1929 D.W. Griffith romantic love triangle mistaken identity melodrama ("The Romance of a Heart Thief!"; "From the story by Karl Volmoeller"; about a French girl engaged to a German diplomat in Paris; he finds out she has cheated on him, and he says that he would rather marry a streetwalker than marry her, and she then disguises herself as a sexy streetwalker and sets about romancing him!) starring William Boyd, Jetta Goudal, Lupe Velez, George Fawcett, Albert Conti, and Henry Armetta. Note that this film was filmed in both a sound and silent version. The sound version had a musical soundtrack that was synchronized, and there was one song that was sung by Lupe Velez, and interestingly, that song was written by Irving Berlin, who did not receive credit on the advertising we have seen! The sound version of this film survives, but sadly, the sound is missing on part of it.

Artist: Charles W. Pancoast
Important Added Info: Note that we have never before auctioned this special poster! It was surely sent by the studio to theater owners to try to get them to book this movie, and no doubt it helped quite a bit!

Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good. The poster was never folded. It had a few creases scattered in the image, including a few in Velez's face, hair, and neck. It had a pinhole in each corner and tiny tears in the bottom border. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was nicely backed, and displays well!
