An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded Belgian Movie Poster (measures 24" x 32") (Learn More) Dramatic School, the 1938 Robert B. Sinclair romantic theater acting school melodrama ("Daring Intimate Revelations Behind the Scenes"; a really clever story of girls at an acting school where one of them is always falling asleep in class, and she tells her friends that is because she has a rich French boyfriend, when actually she is working in a factory to pay to go to the school; one of the rich female students invites her and her "boyfriend" to a party, intending to humiliate her, but the Frenchman is told of what occurred, and he pretends to actually be her boyfriend, and of course, they fall in love; but ultimately they part when the girl realizes that she loves the theater even more than her rich boyfriend!) starring Luise Rainer, Paulette Goddard, Alan Marshal, Lana Turner (in her sixth credited role!), Anthony Allen, Henry Stephenson, and Genevieve Tobin. Note that the lead roles in this movie were played by Rainer and Goddard, both 28, and both pretending to be school girls. They cast actual teenagers to play the other students, and one of them was Lana Turner, who was only 17, a year after her memorable cameo in "They Won't Forget", and a year away from getting really noticed and becoming a star!

Important Added Info: Note that this poster was folded at one time but has been laying flat for a long time and will be sent rolled in a tube. Also note that this is a rare "pre-War" Belgian poster. Prior to World War II, Belgian posters were much larger than the ones from after the war, and they are extremely rare (because during WWII, there was a massive paper shortage in Belgium, and they took virtually every poster and map, and printed new posters on the backs of them!). Condition: good. A small amount has been unevenly trimmed from the top edge and there is tattering and some paper loss in the bottom corners of the poster (repaired with paper and tape from the back at lower left). There is much tattering and separation along the foldlines with most repaired with tape from the back. Learn More about condition grades
