Auction History Result 4k219 DENNIS MORGAN 22x28 personality poster '42 head & shoulders portrait in cool suit jacket! Date Sold 12/10/2013 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Undated (likely 1942; see below) Vintage Theatrical Unfolded Personality Poster (measures 22" x 28" [56 x 71 cm]) (Learn More) Dennis Morgan was an actor from 1936 through 1976. He was born Earl Stanley Morner, and he was first billed by his middle and last name; he made a few more movies billed that way, and then made some movies billed as Richard Stanley, and it was not until 1939 when he became "Dennis Morgan", and it was a few more years later when he became a top star! Some of his movies include: Thank Your Lucky Stars, In This Our Life, Christmas in Connecticut, The Hard Way, Hollywood Canteen, and many more! He passed away in 1994 at the age of 85. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that the poster was never folded. Most of the studios stopped making 22" x 28" personality posters in the mid-1930s. In the early 1940s, Warner Bros. issued a set, few of which survive. One of these was the portrait of Dennis Morgan, which is offered here. It is undated, but because it is printed on a "linen" paper (which Warner Bros. pretty much stopped using in 1942), and judging from the Warner Bros. logo and the image of Morgan, I would say it dates close to 1942. Condition: very good to fine. The poster has creases scattered down the left edge, with a tiny tear in the lower left border. It has a tiny circular brown stain in the lower right blank border and some very minor border wear. Otherwise, the poster is in nice condition, all the more unusual because it is a Warner Bros. linen poster (it has clearly darkened, and it is not at all fragile, as is usually found in Warner Bros. linen half-sheets and lobby cards from this period).
