Date Sold 5/11/2021 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Unfolded Stage Play Poster (measures 28" x 42 1/4" [71 x 107 cm]) (Learn More) Blue Jeans, the 1890s stage play production ("Blue Jeans will never wear out"; "Written by Joseph Arthur author of 'The Still Alarm'") starring Robert C. Hilliard, George D. Chaplin, J.J. Wallace, Jacques Kruger, W.J. Wheeler, Alice Leigh, and Marian Mourdant Strickland. The play made its debut in 1890 in New York, and enjoyed considerable success around the United States and in revivals in the following decades. Because of this, we cannot be certain that the poster offered here is from the 1890 production, and it may be from a later production of the play (the Library of Congress dates some of the posters as 1899). Note that one of the posters for this play has one of the most classic melodrama images there is, which is of man on a table about to be cut in half by a sawmill blade! The caption under it reads "The Great Saw Mill Scene", and this may have been the first time it was used, or it could have been done prior to it. Even though this scene seems to be a classic movie scene, we have never seen a single movie poster that illustrates it! Also, a knowledgeable collector tells us that posters for this play can be seen in the background of Stanley Kubrick's 1955 film Killer's Kiss! If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Condition: good to very good. The poster has tears of varying lengths around the edges that mostly affect the blank borders. The edges have all been completely backed by older, brown advertising paper tape. There is some slight discoloration at lower right in the blank border with some paint staining in the outer edge of that border. It has a large tear at lower right that runs from just to the right of the tagline at bottom upward to the lower left of the man's head, and then upward though his shirt but that tear is much thinner and more difficult to notice. The entire tear is backed by clear tape. Overall, other than that tear and minor edge defects the image is in very nice condition, and while it could be displayed as is, after linenbacking the poster would look fantastic!
