Show Folks, the 1928 Paul L. Stein New York City Broadway theater stage acting dancing romantic love triangle comedy ("Smiles and tears in the tense lives of the world's show folks."; "From an original story by Philip Dunning"; about a vaudeville dancer who meets a girl working at the concession stand and he brings her into his act; they become a team on stage and off, but then they have a fight and she walks out, and he finds another girl for the act, but she is a terrible dancer, which sinks his career, but fortunately, his old girlfriend returns to him, both on stage and off) starring Eddie Quillan, Lina Basquette, Robert Armstrong, Bessie Barriscale, and Carole Lombard (billed as "Carol Lombard", before she changed her name to Carole!; fifth billed!). Note that Carole Lombard has a small but key role as the "replacement" girl! Note that this movie was (like The Jazz Singer) a silent movie that had some talking sequences, but was otherwise silent.

If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know.

Condition: good. smudges, scuffs, and light water stains throughout the card; a nail hole in the upper right image background; tears, creases, and small paper loss around the edges of the card; This is the sort of poster that responds well to restoration. After paperbacking by a good restorer, the poster would look great and there would not be much paint anywhere on the poster!

This window card is in "lesser" condition (it is clearly in less than "very good" condition, and may be all the way down to "fair" condition, as we are selling a collection of early window cards that were found inside of a wall, and those all have water stains and other defects, which should be easily seen on our large images)! This window card has clear defects, which are likely to be very noticeable in our "large" or "super-sized" images that you can click on from our small image at right. In addition, we have also noted in words what these defects are in our "Description of Defects" section above, as some of these defects may not be all that visible in the images. We know that some collectors could accept this window card's defects, and display it as is, and we also know that many collectors would only be happy with this window card if they had it restored, so please do not bid on it unless you can accept it as it is, or are willing to pay to have it properly restored. Of course, you should realize that if you do not bid on this window card because of its condition defects, it may be quite some time before you see this window card offered again!
