An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More)

Shadow of Chinatown, the 1936 Robert F. Hill (billed as "Bob Hill") mystery crime horror science fiction (sci-fi) serial ("15 Thrilling Episodes"; "15 episodes of flaming action, dynamic thrills, and eerie mystery"; a wacky story with Bela Lugosi as a crazy Eurasian who hires another Eurasian, an equally wacky woman known as The Dragon Lady, and together they terrorize the shop owners of a "Chinatown" in an unnamed city, with the hopes of allowing people from another country to come in and take over!) starring Bela Lugosi, Bruce Bennett (billed as "Herman Brix"), Luana Walters (as the Dragon Lady), Joan Barclay, and Maurice Liu

If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know.
Important Added Info: Note that this poster was sent to theaters to use as an advertisement for the entire serial, and snipes were printed by the studio and sent with this poster for each of the individual chapters.

Condition: good to very good. The poster has small, diagonal pieces of tape in each corner (not put there for any restoration purpose) and there is tiny separation and paper loss in the upper crossfold that has been repaired with a slightly yellowed tape from the back that slightly bleeds through to the front (although it is not very noticeable or distracting). There is minor border loss at the upper edge of the vertical foldline, which also has a few tiny creases and very few tiny tears and there is small paper loss near the second "N" of "CHINATOWN" at right. The poster is otherwise in pretty nice condition and quite displayable as is, but if one chose to have a simple linenbacking performed it would certainly look fantastic!
