An Undated (probably 1940s) Re-Release Vintage Theatrical Folded Stock One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) a Western Classics stock poster sent to theaters that regularly showed Hopalong Cassidy movies. The theater could put up the poster each time they showed a Hopalong Cassidy movie, and thus use the same poster over and over! The posters would often have a blank area where the title could either be written in, overprinted, or a snipe could be pasted on. Note that Western Classics distributed these movies in both 1946 and 1947, with different stock posters for each year. A year later, these same Hopalong Cassidy movies were again distributed to theaters, this time under the Masterpiece Productions distributor logo. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this is a "stock" poster created by Screen Guild Productions for use by theaters showing re-releases of their 1930s William Boyd movies in the 1940s. Theaters would order this poster, which had a large blank area in the middle. Sometimes the studio would overprint the stock poster with the title of a specific movie, and sometimes they sent a series of large paper snipes with the titles of specific entries of the series, so the theater could paste in each snipe as needed, thus getting many posters for the price of one. Sometimes stock posters are found with blank snipe areas. Most collectors consider them more valuable with a printed snipe attached, or with an overprinted snipe area. This poster has the hand-written title of "Eagle's Brood". Condition: fair. There is paper loss in the background at upper left and there is tattering and smaller areas of paper loss along the foldlines and edges of the poster. There is some water staining, creasing, and smudging throughout the poster. Learn More about condition grades
