An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked Chapter #1 (The Twin Brothers) One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) The Desert Hawk, the 1944 B. Reeves Eason Arabian desert adventure serial ("A Columbia Chapter Play"; "Flashing cutlasses doom the enemies of the hawk!"; "The Hawk dare all in a battle to the finish on the desert!"; "Cheer the hero of 1000 desert adventures!"; "More serial excitement than you ever dreamed of!"; "The Hawk wins out in a daring, death-defying ruse!"; "Screen Play by Sherman Lowe, Leslie Swabacker, Jack Stanley and Leighton Brill") starring Gilbert Roland, Mona Maris, Egon Brecher, I. Stanford Jolley, Frank Lackteen, and Kermit Maynard. Note that James Ellison was supposed to star in this serial, and posters were printed with him as the star, but shortly before filming began, he was replaced by Gilbert Roland. While some posters with Ellison credited (mainly three-sheet and six-sheet posters) had already been sent to theaters, all remaining posters which had already been printed had a snipe added that covered the Ellison credit with Roland's, and existing pressbooks were destroyed. We have only seen a single three-sheet poster with Ellison billed, and two chapter 1 one-sheet which were sniped. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography.
