Auction History Result n053 MORE DEADLY THAN THE MALE one-sheet movie poster '19 stone litho! Date Sold 3/6/2008Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded One-Sheet Movie Poster (28" x 42") (Learn More) More Deadly Than The Male, the 1919 Robert G. Vignola silent romantic love triangle comedy adventure melodrama (based on the story "By Joseph Golloms"; "Scenario by Julia Crawford Ivors"; a really wacky story of a married woman who gets involved with a man who wants to go to "Zululand", because African women are way more exciting than American ones!) starring Ethel Clayton, Edward Coxen, Herbert Heyes, Hallam Cooley and Viola Barry. Note that this is a "lost" film, which means that no surviving copies are thought to exist. 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. Also note that this one-sheet measures 28" x 42". Please do not bid on this poster thinking it is 27" x 41". Condition: poor. There is much dark staining across the middle half of the poster and a large circular hole above the "T" of "CLAYTON". There are stains and holes in the left and bottom borders. There is a long irregular tear across the center of the poster. Learn More about condition grades
