Date Sold 7/5/2015 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Paper Banner (measures 24" x 80" [61 x 203 cm]) (Learn More) Superman and the Mole Men (released in England as "Superman and the Strange People"), the 1951 Lee Sholem comic book superhero science fiction (sci-fi) subterranean aliens fantasy thriller ("The All-Time Ace of Action!"; "...in his First Full-Length Feature Adventure!") starring George Reeves (in the title role as Superman/Clark Kent), Phyllis Coates (as Lois Lane), Jeff Corey, Walter Reed, J. Farrell MacDonald, and Stanley Andrews. Note that this movie was released theatrically. After it proved very successful, George Reeves was hired for the "The Adventures of Superman" TV series along with Phyllis Coates (who left the series after the 1st season and was replaced with Noel Neill, who portrayed Lois in the first 2 Superman serials). Also, this movie was shown as a special two-part episode of the TV show! 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 in the 1910s through 1930s, studios would make large cloth banners that movie theaters could hang up above their lobbies (or above their entrances). In the early 1940s, they changed to making paper banners (perhaps there was a cloth shortage during World War II). At first, they were made of one-sheet-like paper, and they didn't survive very well, and they apparently were not very popular, because very few survive. At some point around 1946, they changed to making them out of a heavy paper stock, similar to that used for 40x60s, but measuring 24" x 80". Many people think these became very popular at drive-in theaters, which were then expanding at a major pace throughout the country. The paper banners were very popular until the late 1960s, and then far fewer were made (perhaps corresponding to the decline in popularity of drive-in theaters). We have been consigned a wonderful collection of 133 of these paper banners, and we are auctioning them all, in 133 separate auctions. This is a great opportunity to acquire one or many of these rare posters! Condition: good to very good. There are some scuffs and dot stains scattered throughout the poster. There are several small tears in the left blank border (see our image). Learn More about condition grades
