An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) The Uneasy Three, the 1925 Leo McCarey crime comedy short ("The Uneasy Three - amateur crooks about to pull off their first job."; written and produced by Hal Roach; a spoof of Lon Chaney's silent version of "The Unholy 3", about a dimwitted trio of thieves who impersonate musicians to play at society events, so they can steal jewels from the attendees) starring Charley Chase (primarily remembered as a great silent comedian who appeared in 276 movies, most of them comedy shorts, Chase also directed 140 comedy shorts), Katherine Grant, Bull Montana, Fred Kelsey, and Olive Borden. Note that at this time Hal Roach was producing a huge volume of comedy shorts, and he would normally create a one-sheet and three-sheet for each individual short, but would also create a stock poster showing a stone litho image of members of a movie audience laughing, above the tagline that read "Hal Roach presents", with a large blank space below that, and "Pathecomedy" printed below that. Then these stock posters would be overprinted with the names of specific Hal Roach shorts, and frugal theater owners could order these stock posters at a discount to the price of the individual poster for that short. This particular stock one-sheet was overprinted with the title and credit for "Uneasy Three" (and we don't know if there ever was an individual one-sheet produced for The Uneasy Three).

The poster had small paper loss at the bottom crossfold and tiny paper loss at the other crossfolds. It had tiny paper loss in the vertical fold between the middle and bottom crossfolds and minor wear on the other folds and in the borders. Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was nicely backed, and displays well! Learn More about condition grades
