An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) Jack London's Queen of the Yukon, the 1940 Phil Rosen Monogram Alaska riverboat gambling casino adventure cowboy western (based on the Jack London story) starring Charles Bickford, Irene Rich, June Carlson, Dave O'Brien, and L. Stanford Jolley (in an uncredited role as a miner). Note that some of the posters for this movie show a gambling casino where "faro" is played. This gambling game is completely forgotten today, but in the 1800s, it was THE most popular game, because a smart player could get exactly even odds on all their bets, something not true in any other gambling game. In the 1970s, the Stardust casino in Las Vegas attempted to "bring back" faro, but there was little interest, except among quite elderly gamblers, and since it didn't make the casino any money, it was quickly abandoned! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Condition: good to very good. There are some creases throughout the poster from it being oddly folded at one time and there is some tattering along the foldlines and edges. Learn More about condition grades
