An Original Vintage Theatrical Unfolded Window Card Movie Poster (WC; measures 14" x 22" [36 x 56 cm]) (Learn More) Ware Theatre, a late 1920s or early 1930s local theater window card advertising the movies that were playing at the Ware Theatre in Beverly, Massachusetts. The theater was constructed in 1920 by Glover Ware and Harris Ware at a cost of over $250,000. The lobby of the building was faced with pink marble with a gold-leaf embellishment and vaulted ceiling. The auditorium was furnished with a 43' dome, chandeliers and a $50,000 pipe organ. During the 1960s, the theater was sold to Loews who renamed it after its location on Cabot Street. In 1976, the building was purchased by Le Grand David and His Own Spectacular Magic Company, who restored the interior spaces, stage rigging and dressing rooms. In the 2000s, a new board of directors was instituted who provide funding streams, new live acts and maintains the historic structure to this day. 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 is much staining around the edges, with some paper loss. There are a few water stains scattered in the image (see our image). Learn More about condition grades
