Franklin silent Northwest canine German Shepherd dog adventure melodrama ("A pulse stirring story of the great open spaces presented with an all star cast."; "Story by Fred Myton"; this movie gives the origin of Rin Tin Tin!; he was a German World War I police dog that was taken from the Germans by Allied soldiers and brought back to the Northwest [the movie doesn't make it clear whether it is Canada or Alaska]; he gets lost and falls in with a pack of wolves, and a trapper meets him and realizes that he is a dog in with wolves and wins him over, and he repays that kindness when he saves the trapper's life, but not until after many adventures, and at the conclusion of the movie, the trapper has reunited with his sweetheart, and Rin Tin Tin is shown with a family of his own) starring Rin Tin Tin (billed as "Rin-Tin-Tin The Famous Police Dog", in his third big screen appearance and his first starring role; most famous of the movie dog stars, he was Warner Bros.' #1 star in their early lean years and the earnings from his movies kept the studio in the black!), Claire Adams, Walter McGrail, Pat Hartigan, and Myrtle Owen.

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. Condition: very good. The poster was folded across the middle and there were many rough creases across the center 1" of the poster. There were pinholes, creases, small tears, and a few stains around the edges of the poster, but other than the above, the poster was in pretty good condition prior to paperbacking. The poster was quite nicely backed. You can see signs of the creases in the center of the poster from very close up, but from any reasonable viewing distance, the poster displays great!
