Auction History Result 4w750 HELL'S HOUSE 3sh R30s Bette Davis & Pat O'Brien together, gang meets gang! Date Sold 12/26/2013 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Undated (probably 1930s) Re-release Vintage Theatrical Folded Three-Sheet Movie Poster (3sh; measures 41" x 81" [104 x 206 cm]) (Learn More) Hell's House, the 1932 Paul Gangelin & B. Harrison Orkow bad teens reform school bootlegging crime melodrama ("A human symphony for all ages!"; about a teenage boy who is orphaned and idolizes a bootlegger, and he goes to work for him, and takes the blame for him when something goes wrong, and he is sent to reform school!) starring Pat O'Brien, Junior Durkin, Frank Coghlan Jr., Emma Dunn, and Bette Davis (very young in this role!). Note that this movie came out before Bette Davis was a star, and she plays the minor role of the bootlegger's girlfriend, and is not billed or pictured on the original posters, and rightfully so. But soon after the movie's release, she became a star, there was a very deceptive re-release of this movie, on which she was the top star! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this three-sheet is surely a re-release (because Bette Davis is given equal billing to Pat O'Brien), and it is printed by one of the local printing companies of the 1930s (like Leader Press or Woolever Press, or others like that). Usually such posters have simple two-color printing, and they usually have the name of the company at the bottom of the poster, but this one does not. If anyone knows more about this poster, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Also note that this three-sheet was printed in 3 sections designed to overlap. Condition: very good. There are some creases and several tears along the foldlines that were on the outside when the poster was fully folded. There are some creases, smudges, and tiny tears on the other foldlines, and some tiny paper loss at some crossfolds. Learn More about condition grades
