Date Sold 10/18/2011 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41") (Learn More) What's the World Coming To?, the 1926 Richard Wallace silent marriage reversal-of-traditional-roles romantic slapstick comedy short ("One hundred years from today - when men have become more like women and women more like men"; produced by Hal Roach) starring Clyde Cook, Katherine Grant, James Finlayson, Helen Gilmore, and Stan Laurel (in an uncredited role as the man in the window!) 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 at this time Hal Roach was producing a huge volume of comedy shorts, and he would normally create a one-sheet and three-sheet for each individual short, but would also create a stock poster showing a stone litho image of members of a movie audience laughing, above the tagline that read "Hal Roach presents", with a large blank space below that, and "Pathecomedy" printed below that. Then these stock posters would be overprinted with the names of specific Hal Roach shorts, and frugal theater owners could order these stock posters at a discount to the price of the individual poster for that short. This particular stock one-sheet was overprinted with the title and credit for "What's the World Coming To?" In the case of this specific movie, the individual three-sheet has been seen, but I do not know of any individual one-sheets that have surface for this movie (other than this "stock" one-sheet). Condition: good to very good. There is some water staining and tattering along the foldlines and edges of the poster. The poster is otherwise in pretty nice condition considering its age and after linenbacking the poster will surely display well with little paint restoration needed!
