An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked Forty by Sixty Movie Poster (measures 40" x 60") (Learn More) The Good Old Days, the 1944 Hollywood movie compilation ("A 2 1/2 hour journey into the romance and gayety of yesterday") featuring clips of classic cinema moments from before 1944 including "Dempsey vs Willard", "The Great Train Robbery", "Every Inch a Man", "The Good Old Songs", "Springtime Saps", and "Ten Nights in a Barroom" and this poster also features screen greats such as Rudolph Valentino, Clara Bow, Marie Dressler (born in 1868, she was on Broadway in her 20s and in 1914, starred in "Tillie's Punctured Romance" over a very young Charlie Chaplin; but her career wained and she quit films a few years later returning to Broadway, and by the late 1920s, her career seemed over; but legendary producer Irving Thalberg cast her in "Anna Christie" in 1930, and she rapidly became a major star, in spite of her advanced age and plain face; she received the Best Actress Oscar for "Min and Bill" in 1930, and is probably best remembered for her role in "Dinner at Eight"; sadly, she died of cancer in 1934), Snub Pollard, William S. Hart, Lon Chaney Sr, Mary Pickford, Charlie Chaplin, and Shirley Temple NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Condition: good. This poster was linenbacked, but it was either NOT linenbacked by a very talented restorer, OR it was linenbacked many years ago, and has received rough handling over the years, OR it had fairly major defects that were not restorated at all. If it was restored, you can clearly see signs of the restoration even from a distance. This is a poster that would greatly benefit from additional professional restoration. You can tell which of the above is the case for this particular poster by reading our "pre-restoration" description and also by looking at our "super-sized" image of the actual poster (we are the only major auction company we know of that gives accurate detailed pre-restoration information about linenbacked posters to our bidders, but we wish everyone did!). The poster had many condition problems prior to linenbacking including many rough creases, tears, and small areas of paper loss. The person who backed the poster simply backed it, without addressing any of its defects. This is a poster that is in great need of re-linenbacking! Please do not bid on it unless you can accept its many defects or are willing to pay to have them restored! Also note that the restorer who mounted the poster did not leave any excess linen around the edges of the poster. Learn More about condition grades
