What a flood of pleasant memories flashes along at the mere mention of her name. You sympathized with her in 'The Birth of a Nation' suffered with her in 'Hearts of the World.' pitied her in 'Broken Blossoms' cried over her in 'Orphans of the Storm.' actually cheered her in 'Way Down East.'

Barney Sherry, and Charles Lane 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 poster has been kraftbacked, which means it was backed onto a brown paper soon after it was printed (this process is called "kraft-backing", and posters with it are called "kraft-backed"). One could have it professionally removed from the kraft paper and linenbacked. Note that the poster was once tri-folded, but it was stored only partially folded for many years, and I think it would be a mistake to completely re-fold it, so it will need to be sent in a larger-than-normal flat package. Condition: fair. There is significant paper loss scattered down the left side of the poster, but fortunately, it mostly affects the background areas. There is scattered paper loss down the center of the poster and some nail holes in the image (see our image for location of all these defects). While the poster has significant defects and is extremely fragile, it can be linenbacked by a talented professional. After proper restoration, the poster will look great. Please do not bid on this poster unless you can accept its very significant defects and are willing to pay to have them properly restored! Know that many years ago, we photographed a complete example of this poster, and we can provide a high quality image to the buyer of this poster, which would greatly aid the restorer who linenbacks the poster.
