Auction History Result 4z073 CHEATING CHEATERS insert '27 sexy Betty Compson's criminal family tries to rob other crooks! Date Sold 2/18/2016 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Unfolded Insert Movie Poster (measures 14" x 36" [36 x 91 cm]) (Learn More) Cheating Cheaters, the 1927 Edward Laemmle silent romantic crime comedy ("Max Marcin's Stage Success"'; a clever comedy about two families of crooks who pose as wealthy people and move next door to wealthy families, intending to rob them; but then by chance they move in next to each other, and both try to rob the other family!) starring Kenneth Harlan, Betty Compson, Eddie Gribbon, Cesare Gravina, Lucien Litlefield, E.J. Ratcliffe, Sylvia Ashton, Erwin Connelly, and Maude Turner Gordon. Note that director Edward Laemmle has been largely forgotten by film history, but he has a VERY interesting biography! He is the nephew of Carl Laemmle, who persuaded him to leave his electrical engineering career in 1915 and join him at his recently opened Universal Studios. He started as an assistant director, mainly under John Ford. In 1917, he went to New Guinea to produce a movie about the natives there, and was shipwrecked, and spent two years among the Kia Kia cannibals! This adventure was re-created in the movie "Shipwrecked Among Cannibals", which became the first million dollar movie for Universal Studios. Edward Laemmle went on to direct roughly 50 movies, and had many famous assistants, including William Wyler. 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 poster is very old and fragile, and attempting to roll it would surely damage it. Therefore we will only send it in a very large flat package. Please bear that extra shipping cost in mind BEFORE placing a bid on this poster! Note that this item needs to be shipped in an oversized flat package. If it is a size that might ordinarily be rolled in a tube (like a half-sheet), the reason it is in this auction is specifically because we feel it either CAN'T be rolled or because we feel it would be a mistake to roll it, because it might well damage the item. In the case of the few items that could be rolled, we will roll the item in a tube if the new owner insists, but only if they accept that they can't return the item if it is damaged from being rolled. So please bear in mind that this item must be sent in a LARGE flat package (the size of the package will depend on the size of the item), and bear this added expense in mind before placing a bid on it. Condition: good. There is paper loss and small tears in the bottom 3" of the poster, and some small stains scattered around the edges (see our image). It is extremely fragile. This poster certainly could be restored (and we can provide the new owner with a high quality image of a complete example of this poster), but bear this expense in mind before bidding on this poster.
