An Undated (probably 1930s) Re-Release Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) The Son of the Sheik, the 1926 George Fitzmaurice Arabian silent desert romantic adventure melodrama sequel ("Hail now! 'The Son of the Sheik'"; "A sequel to 'The Sheik'"; "From the novel by E.M. Hull - Adapted to the screen by Frances Marion"; the son has his way with a dancing girl, and her father captures him and tortures him as payback) starring Rudolph Valentino (in a dual title role as both Sheik Ahmed Ben Hassan and Ahmed, the Sheik's son; in his final movie role!), Vilma Banky (as Yasmin), George Fawcett, Montagu Love, and Karl Dane. Note that this movie was a sequel to Valentino's wildly successful 1920 "The Sheik". Unfortunately, he passed away when filming was completed, and it was not released until after his death.

Important Added Info: Note that this is one of two different re-release one-sheets for this movie from ArtCinema. One is red, blue, and black, and has a large "BY POPULAR DEMAND" at the top. The other is blue and red, and has a large "SENSATIONAL REVIVAL by POPULAR DEMAND". It is possible that they were two different posters made for the same re-release, but it is more likely they are from two different re-releases. We were able to date the red, blue, and black one to 1938 by the litho number, but the other poster does not have a litho number, so we are simply calling it "R1930s". If anyone knows more about either of these posters, please e-mail us and we will post it here. What IS linenbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good to very good. The poster had tiny paper loss at the top and bottom crossfolds, and creases and some tiny tears on all the folds. The top and bottom borders were folded back at one time and there were two extra horizontal creases, with some tiny paper loss in the blank borders, and a tape stain in the bottom border. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. The restorer backed the poster "in the European style", meaning that they did not do restoration to the defects described above. Learn More about condition grades
