An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded One-Sheet Movie Poster (27" x 41") (Learn More) The Woman Game, the 1920 William P.S. Earle silent romantic rich-man-formerly-rich-girl melodrama (based on the story "by Leighton Osmun and Frank Dazey"; "Scenario by G. Marion Burton"; about a young woman who was born into high society, but her parents went broke, and she still socializes with the rich folk because they like her, and she has somewhat of a scandalous reputation, and then she meets a man she really likes, and she pretends to be innocent, and when he finds out she isn't so innocent he dumps her, but everything works out in the end!) starring Elaine Hammerstein, Jere Austin, Florence Billings Lewis Broughton, and Charles Eldridge 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 is one of a very interesting group of silent one-sheets from the late 1910s and early 1920s that were found under a carpet in a VERY old house! We have no idea why, but at some point in the early 1920s, someone took around 30 one-sheet posters and placed them in a stack under a carpet (perhaps to hide them?). They stayed there undisturbed for the next 75 or so years, until someone ripped up the carpet and found them. MANY OF THE POSTERS HAD SUSTAINED CONSIDERABLE DAMAGE, WHILE OTHERS WERE NOT THAT DAMAGED AT ALL. We are selling half of the posters from this unusual find this week on eBay (in 14 separate auctions), and we will sell the other half as separate auctions at some later date. All of these posters absolutely need expert professional restoration (obviously, some will require much more restoration than others), but in many cases, the poster we are offering may well be the only surviving example of that poster, so it would seem they are all well worth "rescuing". But please do not bid on any of these posters unless you have read our description of their condition, and have carefully studied our super-sized image, and unless you are prepared to pay to have the poster properly restored. Note that some of the posters measure different sizes (some may be trimmed) and we have noted their sizes. Finally, note that all of these posters are quite fragile, and we will send them rolled in a sturdy tube. Condition: good. There are stains down the left 5" of the poster and two lines of carpet tack holes down the left of the image, but it is very fortunate that almost all of the stains and holes are in the background area, and do not affect the image. There are stains in the top blank border. The image of the stars is in relatively nice condition! Learn More about condition grades
