An Original Vintage Theatrical Unfolded Australian Long Daybill Movie Poster (db; measures 15 1/4" x 40" [39 x 102 cm]) (Learn More) The Thirteenth Juror, the 1927 Edward Laemmle silent murder mystery melodrama ("A thrilling melodrama that will hold you tense"; "From the play 'The Counsel for the Defense' by Henry Irving Dodge"; about a man who kills another man during a fight, and a third man is arrested for the crime; when he is put on trial for murder, the man who actually did it doesn't say anything, but finally, at the climax, he can't take it and he confesses, and he is let off on self defense) starring Anna Q. Nilsson, Francis X. Bushman, Walter Pidgeon, Martha Mattox, and Sidney Bracey. Note that Walter Pidgeon was born in 1897, and started making silent movies in the mid 1920s, but he had limited success. He had a wonderful speaking voice, but that did not lead to stardom in early sound movies. Finally, in 1937, at the age of 40, MGM put him under contract, but still limited him to supporting roles. His "big break" finally came in 1941 with "How Green Was My Valley", and he became one of MGM's top stars of the early 1940s (no doubt helped by so many other male stars being away at war). He stayed with MGM for the remainder of his career. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Artist: Fred Brodrick Condition: good to very good. There is paper loss in the upper right corner and there is water staining in the upper left corner and there is some tattering around the edges of the poster. Fortunately, the poster's defects are confined to background and border areas. Surely a professional restorer (or talented amateur) could linenback this poster and it would display quite nicely!
