An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked Three-Sheet Movie Poster (3sh; measures 41" x 81" [104 x 206 cm]) (Learn More) How Molly Made Good (also released in the U.S. as "How Molly Malone Made Good"), the 1915 Lawrence B. McGill silent newspaper journalism female reporter adventure comedy ("A Multiple Reel Feature"; "The supreme motion picture achievement introducing twelve famous stars who aided her"; about a young Irish girl in New York City who gets a job as a newspaper reporter, but is told by her editor that she must interview as many theater celebrities as possible, and she not only does so, but she takes an airplane from Connecticut to New York in order to get her story to the paper in time, which was quite daring in 1915!; the movie included cameos by many famous Broadway stars of the day, appearing as themselves) starring Marguerite Gale (in the title role "as the heroine Molly Malone"), with cameo appearances by Leo Ditrichstein, May Robson, Robert Edeson, Cyril Scott, Lulu Glaser, Henrietta Crosman, Henry Kolker, Julian Eltinge (who was perhaps the most famous female impersonator of the 1910s), Madame Grace Fjorde, Charles J. Ross (billed as "Chas. J. Ross"), Julia Dean, and Mabel Fenton 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 three-sheet was printed on three one-sheet sized pieces, designed to overlap (which is how all three-sheets were printed in the 1910s and part of the 1920s, because they did not have presses that could print larger sections until the late 1920s). The person who linenbacked this poster had each section separately linenbacked onto thin linen. Therefore, there is a border around each of the three sections. We have cropped the border out to show how the poster looks combined. One could trim the excess border from the areas between the three sections and combine the three sections that way, but a much better solution would be to have the three sections removed from the thin linen and properly backed together. Please do not bid on this poster unless you can accept that it was linenbacked in three pieces, and that it will not display in the normal way unless some sort of additional restoration or trimming is done. What IS linenbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good. Each of the three sections were tri-folded only and had some fine surface paper loss on parts of the folds, but were otherwise in nice condition prior to linenbacking (especially considering they are over a century old!). Each section of the poster was backed onto a separate piece of thin linen, with excess around the edges (see above). If the three sections were removed from the thin linen and re-backed, the poster would be in "very good" condition and display wonderfully. However, it would be difficult to display the poster as it is (although one could trim the excess linen from the parts where the three sections join). Bear this in mind before placing a bid on this poster. Learn More about condition grades
