An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded Argentinean Movie Poster (measures 14 1/4" x 28" [36 x 71 cm]) (Learn More) The Printer's Devil, the 1923 William Beaudine silent newspaper typesetter apprentice melodrama ("P.S. This is my latest pitcher -- it's a pip. Wesley Barry"; about a teenager who falls in love with a banker's daughter, and when the bank is robbed, the father suspects the teen, but he is able to find the real robbers) starring Wesley Barry, Harry Myers, Kathryn McGuire, Louis King, and George C. Pearce. Note that Wesley Barry had been a child star, and here he was sixteen, and played a semi-adult role. He would become an assistant director in films and television, and continue to act into the 1980s. Also note that this is a "lost" film which means that no surviving copies are thought to exist.

Important Added Info: Note that this is one of a remarkable find of 143 Argentinean posters from 1926 to 1929 that were recently discovered! They all measure approximately 14 1/4" x 28 1/4", which was one of the two main sizes created for Argentinean movie posters at that time (the other was a poster that measured 29" x 43"). It is likely that prior to this amazing find, there were only a small number of these posters known to exist in the entire world, and after these 143 are auctioned, it is unlikely that there will be many more discovered, even over the coming decades! This is a rare opportunity to purchase an Argentinean poster from the late 1920s, a time when virtually no movie posters from any country are known to exist! Note that this poster was folded at one time but has been laying flat for a long time and will be sent rolled in a tube. Condition: very good. There are a few minor patches of slight discoloration scattered in various areas (more so along the foldlines), typical of Argentinean posters of this time period. It is otherwise in pretty nice condition. Learn More about condition grades
