Auction History Result 5n019 DANGEROUS NAN MCGREW WC '30 great art of cowgirl Helen Kane, the boop-boopa-doop girl! Date Sold 6/16/2009 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Paperbacked Window Card Movie Poster (WC; measures 14" x 22") (Learn More) Dangerous Nan McGrew, the 1930 Malcolm St. Clair Canadian nnorthwest romantic comedy (a parody of the famous poem and movie "The Shooting of Dan McGrew") starring Helen Kane ("The boop-boopa-doop girl"; in the title role), Victor Moore, James Hall, Stuart Erwin, Frank Morgan, Louise Closser Hale, and Roberta Robinson. Note that star Helen Kane had become immensely popular with her song "Boop-Boopa-Doop", and the song became the trademark of Betty Boop, the sexy female cartoon character (which was why Helen Kane was billed as "The Boop-Boopa-Doop Girl").

This means the poster was backed onto a paper backing (acid-free), that is similar in feel to that of the original poster (except somewhat heavier). It is a similar process to linenbacking, except that most collectors use linenbacking for one-sheets and paperbacking for half-sheets, inserts, window cards, and lobby cards. Condition: good to very good. The poster had pinholes, creases, tears, and some areas of paper loss around the edges of the poster and some creases, smudges, scuffs, and a few pinholes scattered throughout the image. Overall, the poster was in good condition prior to paperbacking. The poster was well backed by a talented restorer, who did not touch up all of the faint smudges and scuffs (but the restorer did paint over much of the background areas and the solid red bar at bottom). Obviously, one would prefer to find an example of this window card that had no defects or restoration, but I do not know if another example of this card exists (or if it does, if the owner would consider parting with it!). This card has had expert restoration and displays nicely, but you have a sense that there was paint restoration in the blank background areas. Learn More about condition grades
