An Original Vintage Theatrical Paperbacked Window Card Movie Poster (WC; measures 14" x 22") (Learn More) Wild Wild Susan, the 1925 A. Edward Sutherland silent romantic marriage wedding comedy ("She's the kind of a girl who beats the fire engines to the fire."; "From the story 'The Wild Wild Child', by Stewart M. Emery"; about a wild society girl, whose father wants her to marry a boring man, so she runs away and becomes a private detective!; she meets a chauffeur, who is really another runaway bored rich kid, and he hires her to help him, but he really just wants to give her so many adventures that she will grow tired of adventure and will be willing to settle down with him, and of course, she does at the end of the movie!) starring Bebe Daniels ("You'll be wild about Bebe Daniels"; in the title role as Susan), Rod La Rocque, Henry Stephenson, Jack Kane, and Helen Holcombe. Note that this is a "lost" film, which means that no surviving copies are thought to exist. 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 this poster has been paperbacked. What is paperbacking? This means the poster was backed onto a paper backing (acid-free), that is similar in feel to that of the original poster (except somewhat heavier). It is a similar process to linenbacking, except that most collectors use linenbacking for one-sheets and paperbacking for half-sheets, inserts, window cards, and lobby cards. Condition: good to very good. The poster had pinholes, creases, tears, and some areas of paper loss around the edges of the poster and a very few creases, smudges, scuffs, and a few pinholes scattered throughout the image. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to paperbacking. The poster was well backed by a talented restorer, who did not touch up the relatively small number of faint smudges and scuffs in the central image (and I agree with that decision, because to do so would have required lots of paint, which would have given the poster a "heavily restored" look, and I don't feel the smudges and scuffs are all that distracting, and they help establish that this is a genuine 84 year-old original poster!). There was a greater amount of restoration in the blank borders and around the very edges of the image. Obviously, one would prefer to find an example of this window card that had no defects or restoration, but I do not know if another example of this card exists (or if it does, if the owner would consider parting with it!). This card has had expert restoration and displays nicely. Learn More about condition grades
