Auction History Result 8e259 EAST SIDE KIDS 1sh '40 Dead End Kids rip-off with an entirely new cast! Date Sold 5/27/2014 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 28" x 42" [71 x 107 cm]) (Learn More) East Side Kids, the 1940 Bob Hill New York City gang war romantic crime thriller ("Story and screenplay by William Lively") starring Vince Barnett, Dennis Moore, Leon Ames, Joyce Bryant, and "The Original East Side Kids" Hal E. Chester (billed as "Hally Chester"), Harris Berger, Frankie Burke, Donald Haines, and Eddie Brian. Apparently, this movie was Monogram Pictures' attempt to cash in on the huge success of "Dead End" and its sequels, and they cast Harris Berger, who had replaced Huntz Hall in the stage production of "Dead End" when Hall went to Hollywood, and they also cast Frankie Burke, who had played the young James Cagney in "Angels with Dirty Faces", apparently so that audiences would feel that this new cast of kids were somewhat recognizable, and they had the nerve to bill them as "The Original East Side Kids", although that didn't really mean anything. It is ironic that later on, Monogram picked up the "Dead End Kids" series after the major studios had lost interest, and called them the "Bowery Boys", and had great success with that series!

Also note that this one-sheet was created by "Southern Poster Printing Co." of Atlanta, GA. Southern Poster created one-sheets for movies that were distributed to theaters who (for one reason or another) had difficulty obtaining studio issue paper. Southern Poster posters were created during a movie's first release. This is similar to the posters created by "the other company", as an alternate to studio issue posters. Condition: good to very good. There is writing on the back that bleeds through to the front at lower center and there is some degree of ink transfer throughout the poster from it being stored folded for a long period of time.
