An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked Chapter #10 ("Trapped") One-Sheet Movie Poster (measures 27" x 41") (Learn More) The Three Musketeers, the 1933 Colbert Clark & Armand Schaefer Foreign Legion military action adventure serial ("A Modern Version"; "A Smashing Serial In 12 Thrilling Chapters"; loosely based on the classic novel by Alexandre Dumas) starring John Wayne, Ruth Hall, Jack Mulhall, Raymond Hatton, Ralph Bushman (billed as "Francis X. Bushman Jr."), Noah Beery Jr., Lon Chaney Jr. (billed under his given name of "Creighton Chaney"), and Robert Warwick. Note that this is a then-modern day version of the Dumas classic, with Mulhall, Hatton, and Bushman as the modern day Three Musketeers and John Wayne as the modern day D'Artagnan. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Condition: very good. This poster was linenbacked, and one of the following is true: either the poster had minor defects, and was well backed, OR it had more significant defects, but they were extremely well restored, OR it had some very minor defects that were not completely restored, and are somewhat noticeable. You can tell which of the above is the case for this particular poster by reading our "pre-restoration" description and also by looking at our "super-sized" image of the actual poster (we are the only major auction company we know of that gives accurate detailed pre-restoration information about linenbacked posters to our bidders, but we wish everyone did!). Note that we gave this condition grade to a very few posters that were in pretty good condition prior to linenbacking, but which were not all that well linenbacked, and which could be fairly easily re-backed with only minor additional restoration. The poster has two evenly spaced vertical foldlines instead of the usual one. There are faint horizontal scuff lines across Wayne's face and a few in the face of the Arab he is holding. There were creases, small tears, and a few tiny areas of paper loss on some foldlines. This poster is an ideal candidate for re-backing. The original restorer did not leave any excess linen, and also mounted it on to a thin linen, and the poster has been bumped around the edges resulting in tears, creases, and some small paper loss in the blank borders. There is scuffing and smudges in the solid purple areas in the inset and smudges and faint stains around the edges of the poster. If the poster is re-backed, the restorer can surely touch up the fine scuff lines in Wayne's face so that they are barely noticeable (they really are not very noticeable even now), and also repair the other defects, and the poster will look great!
