An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded Argentinean Movie Poster (measures 14 1/4" x 28 3/4" [36 x 73 cm]) (Learn More) Mlle. (Mademoiselle) Modiste, the 1926 Robert Z. Leonard France silent romantic comedy ("Adapted from the famous operetta written by Henry Blossom and composed by Victor Herbert"; about a salesgirl in a French dress shop who is set up in her own shop by a rich American, and he renames her Mlle. Modiste, and her boyfriend misunderstands, and thinks she has become a prostitute!) starring Corinne Griffith, Norman Kerry, Willard Louis, Dorothy Cumming, and Rose Dione. Note that this was an adaptation of an operetta into a silent film, so there couldn't be any music or singing, but the operetta was remade in 1931 as "Kiss Me Again", starring Bernice Claire and Walter Pidgeon. Also note that online databases list this movie is titled "Mademoiselle Modiste", but the posters clearly have "Mlle. Modiste" instead. We wonder if it was actually called "Mademoiselle Modiste" on its first release. Does anyone know one way or the other? 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 is one of a remarkable find of 143 Argentinean posters from 1926 to 1929 that were recently discovered! They all measure approximately 14 1/4" x 28 1/4", which was one of the two main sizes created for Argentinean movie posters at that time (the other was a poster that measured 29" x 43"). It is likely that prior to this amazing find, there were only a small number of these posters known to exist in the entire world, and after these 143 are auctioned, it is unlikely that there will be many more discovered, even over the coming decades! This is a rare opportunity to purchase an Argentinean poster from the late 1920s, a time when virtually no movie posters from any country are known to exist! Note that this poster was folded at one time but has been laying flat for a long time and will be sent rolled in a tube. Condition: very good to fine. Learn More about condition grades
