The Three Musketeers, the 1933 Colbert Clark & Armand Schaefer Foreign Legion military action adventure serial ("A Modern Version"; "A Smashing Serial In 12 Thrilling Chapters"; loosely based on the classic novel by Alexandre Dumas) starring John Wayne, Ruth Hall, Jack Mulhall, Raymond Hatton, Ralph Bushman (billed as "Francis X. Bushman Jr."), Noah Beery Jr., Lon Chaney Jr. (billed under his given name of "Creighton Chaney"), and Robert Warwick. Note that this is a then-modern day version of the Dumas classic, with Mulhall, Hatton, and Bushman as the modern day Three Musketeers and John Wayne as the modern day D'Artagnan.

If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know.
Important Added Info: Note that the last time we auctioned this one-sheet was 11 years ago, when it sold for $1,025! Note that this is the rare ORIGINAL release Chapter 1 one-sheet! In the late 1930s, Matt Levine re-released this serial, and a two-color version of this poster was printed. But because that two-color poster is undated, it has often been mistakenly sold as a 1933 poster, but it is actually a late 1930s re-release. This original full-color version is virtually never offered for sale!

Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good. The poster was folded with two evenly spaced vertical folds instead of the normal middle one. It had small tears and small paper loss scattered down both vertical folds, and a little bit at the crossfolds, with minor wear on the horizontal folds. It had some small tears and small paper loss in the borders. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was nicely backed, and displays well!
