An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Herald (measures 4" x 7 1/4" [10 x 18 cm]; 4 pages) (Learn More)

The Old Dark House, the 1932 James Whale ("who gave you 'Frankenstein'") Universal horror thriller ("Beware the night!"; "From the novel by J.B. Priestly") starring Boris Karloff (billed as "Karloff"), Melvyn Douglas, Gloria Stuart, Charles Laughton, Lilian Bond, Ernest Thesiger, Eva Moore, Raymond Massey, Brember Wills, and Elspeth Dudgeon (billed as "John Dudgeon"). Note that Elspeth Dudgeon (in her screen debut) was disguised as a man in the film and even billed under a male pseudonym.
NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography.
Important Added Info: Note that we have only previously auctioned two examples of this herald (only one in the last 21 years), and one of those examples has now been reconsigned to us, so this is still only one of two examples we have ever auctioned!

Note that this is one of a remarkable collection of 31 heralds we are currently auctioning (in 31 separate auctions). They were collected over many decades, and include many wonderful horror ones, plus other very top titles. If one tried to duplicate this collection, it would likely take many years to do so!

Condition: good to very good. There are two circular holes in the right of the cover of the herald, but fortunately, one is solely in the background and one very slightly affects the top of the hair of the woman at lower right and on the reverse side, they barely affect the image. There is also one tiny circular hole in the cover that affects the woman's hand at top left (see our images). Other than a few minor creases around the edges and the fact that it was once lightly folded across the middle, the herald is in pretty nice condition!
