An Original Vintage Theatrical Unfolded Window Card Movie Poster (WC; measures 14" x 22" [36 x 56 cm]) (Learn More)

The Desert Song, the 1929 Roy Del Ruth romantic musical ("A Warner Bros. Vitaphone singing picture"; "Warner Bros. Spectacular Singing Success"; "Based on story by Otto Harbach, Lawrence Schwab, Oscar Hammerstein 2nd, Frank Mandel") starring John Boles (in a dual role), Carlotta King, Louise Fazenda, Myrna Loy, and Johnny Arthur. Note that there was a remake of this in 1944 with Dennis Morgan and Irene Manning, and another remake in 1953 with Gordon MacRae and Kathryn Grayson. There was a German movie by this name in 1939, but it was unrelated.

If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know.

Important Added Info: Note that this window card was never folded. Often window cards would be folded across the middle, because that would make them 11" x 14", and they could then be sent with standard folded posters. Most collectors put an added value on a window card that has never been folded.

Condition: fair to good. There was a long semi-circular tear in the middle left of the poster, going through the head of the horse and the man's cape. It was repaired with tape from the back. There is a 2" tear near the middle of the bottom border that was also repaired with tape. There are many stains around the edges and some smudges and scuffs scattered through the poster. But the poster is mostly "all there", and after paperbacking by a talented professional, the poster will look fantastic, and it will likely require little paint restoration within the image.
