The Bowery, the 1933 Raoul Walsh Brooklyn New York City romantic love triangle comedy melodrama (based on the novel by Michael L. Simmons & Bessie Roth Solomon; produced by Darryl F. Zanuck; about best friends and rivals in 1890s New York City, who compete in business and in love, and, likely due to success of "The Champ", Beery has a young street kid he takes care of as well!) starring Wallace Beery, George Raft, Jackie Cooper, Fay Wray, Pert Kelton, Herman Bing, and Lucille Ball (uncredited in her third movie role!)

If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know.
Important Added Info: Note that we have only previously auctioned two examples of this first release half-sheet. Also note that this poster has been paperbacked. What is paperbacking? This means the poster was backed onto a paper backing (acid-free), that is similar in feel to that of the original poster (except somewhat heavier). It is a similar process to linenbacking, except that most collectors use linenbacking for one-sheets and paperbacking for half-sheets, inserts, window cards, and lobby cards.

Note that because this poster was paperbacked onto a thicker paper backing, it CAN'T be sent rolled (someone could conceivably roll it or try to do so, but we know it would definitely lessen its condition, so we will only send it in a very large flat package, unless the buyer insists, and then they would be responsible for any damage).

Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good to very good. Prior to paperbacking, the poster had an extra fold 1/4" to the right of the regular vertical fold, and it had some tiny tears and tiny paper loss on parts of the folds. It had pinholes, tiny tears, and small paper loss around the edges. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to paperbacking. The poster was pretty well backed, but you can see signs of the above defects and the restoration of the above defects.
