An Original Vintage Theatrical Unfolded Half-Sheet Movie Poster (1/2sh; measures 22" x 28") (Learn More) The Unbeliever, the 1918 Alan Crosland silent World War I (WWI) United States Marine Corps (USMC) military melodrama serial ("A modern story of romance and action based upon the story 'The Three Things' by Mary Raymond Shipman Andrews"; "In seven parts"; "Presented by The Thomas A. Edison Studios"; about an "upper class" American who thinks that joining the military is for the lower classes, but then he joins the U.S. Marines, and learns through experience that he was completely wrong, and he becomes a hero on the battlefield!) starring Raymond McKee, Marguerite Courtot, Erich von Stroheim (in one of his earliest credited roles!), Kate Lester, and Frank DeVernon. Note that the German villain in this movie is played by Erich Von Stroheim (who was oddly billed as "Karl Von Stroheim"), and that many genuine U.S. Marines appeared in the battle scenes! Note that this movie was produced by "Perfection Pictures". This was created in 1917 by a merger of three legendary film companies of the earlier 1910s, Essanay, Thomas A. Edison, Inc., and George Kleine. We know that Perfection Pictures produced at least a couple dozen movies between 1917 and 1925, and we suspect that they also re-released some movies from the above three studios that were made prior to 1917. If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here. 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 half-sheet is very old, and it would not make sense to attempt to roll it, as the paper is fragile enough that rolling it might damage it. Therefore we will send it in a large flat package. Please bear that extra shipping cost in mind BEFORE placing a bid on this poster! Note that the poster is not so fragile that it is "falling to pieces"! If it is handled carefully, it can absolutely be framed and enjoyed without any worry. Condition: good. The poster was lightly folded in each direction, but those folds are pretty invisible. There is paper loss in the bottom right corner, but it is fortunately only white border, and there is some small paper loss, tears, and smudges in the other borders. The image area of the poster is in pretty nice condition! Learn More about condition grades
