An Undated (probably late 1910s or early 1920s) Re-Release Theatrical Linenbacked Three-Sheet Movie Poster (3sh; measures 41" x 81" [104 x 206 cm]) (Learn More) Old Folks at Home, the 1916 Chester Whitey silent romantic political crime murder melodrama ("A Rupert Hughes Story"; about a small town man who is elected state senator, and who moves to the capital with his wife and son, and his son forgets about his hometown sweetheart and falls in with bad men, and kills a man, but at his trial, his mother pleads for mercy for him, and he is found not guilty!) starring Sir Herbert Beerbohm Tree (who is best remembered for starring in adaptations of William Shakespeare movies, but who appeared in this non-costume melodrama), Josephine Crowell, Elmer Clifton, Mildred Harris, and Lucille Young. Note that when this movie was made in 1916, Mildred Harris was 14 and had a minor role in this movie as the hometown sweetheart of the star's son. But two years later, she married Charlie Chaplin, and the movie was re-released at some point after that (perhaps in the very late 1910s, but also perhaps in the very early 1920s), and she was actually incredibly deceptively given top billing in the movie as "Mildred Harris Chaplin", to capitalize on her Charlie Chaplin connection, over that of the distinguished Shakespearean actor, Sir Herbert Beerbohm Tree (and she only had a minor part)! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that, as noted above, Mildred Harris was incredibly deceptively given top billing in this movie for this re-release, although she only had a minor role. What IS linenbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good. The poster had small tears and some tiny paper loss on parts of some folds, and some light stains and small tears around the edges. It had some light stains in the bottom of the image area. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. Someone backed the poster onto a thin linen with no excess and no restoration, and it was roughly handled, giving it many creases scattered throughout. It is also separating from the linen in the top center. If I owned this poster, I would surely have it removed from the old thin linen and have it properly re-backed with restoration performed to the above defects. Learn More about condition grades
