Date Sold 4/14/2019 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Unfolded Window Card Movie Poster (WC; measures 14" x 22" [36 x 56 cm]) (Learn More) High School Hero, the 1927 David Butler silent basketball sports romantic love triangle comedy ("Rampant youth in a basketball romance"; "Story by William Conselman and David Butler"; about a pair of high school basketball players who are both in love with a pretty new student; it threatens to sabotage their team, but their coach convinces them to put their differences aside and work together, and the girl ends up going with the smart nerdy kid who wears glasses!) starring Sally Phipps, Nick Stuart, Charles Paddock (the legendary Olympic track running champion, as the basketball coach!), John Darrow, and William Bailey. Note that this is the absolute earliest "basketball" movie we know of that was made (and obviously, basketball plays a major part in the movie!). While there were lots of baseball movies in the 1910s and 1920s (and there had been a few football movies in the 1920s as well), it took until 1927 before basketball gained enough of a following to where they made a movie about it, and two were released, just one week apart! The first was this movie, followed just one week later by "The Fair Co-Ed", starring Marion Davies (and then the next true basketball movies we know of were just a few in the very late 1930s, and then not again until the late 1940s).

Important Added Info: Note that first release 1927 movie paper from this movie is incredibly rare. We have only auctioned a scene lobby card and a glass slide from this movie until we received this window card! Also note that this window card was never folded. Often window cards would be folded across the middle, because that would make them 11" x 14", and they could then be sent with standard folded posters. Most collectors put an added value on a window card that has never been folded. Condition: good. Learn More about condition grades
