Auction History Result 4z105 OLD FOLKS AT HOME 3sh R20s stone litho of Josephine Crowell & Sir Herbert Beerbohm Tree! Date Sold 2/18/2016 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Undated (probably late 1910s or early 1920s) Re-Release Vintage Theatrical Tri-Folded Three-Sheet Movie Poster (3sh; measures 39 3/4" x 77 1/2" [101 x 197 cm]) (Learn More) Old Folks at Home, the 1916 Chester Whitey silent romantic political crime murder melodrama ("A Rupert Hughes Story"; about a small town man who is elected state senator, and who moves to the capitol with his wife and son, and his son forgets about his hometown sweetheart and falls in with bad men, and kills a man, but at his trial, his mother pleads for mercy for him, and he is found not guilty!) starring Sir Herbert Beerbohm Tree (who is best remembered for starring in adaptations of William Shakespeare movies, but who appeared in this non-costume melodrama), Josephine Crowell, Elmer Clifton, Mildred Harris, and Lucille Young. Note that when this movie was made in 1916, Mildred Harris was 14 and had a minor role in this movie as the hometown sweetheart of the star's son. But two years later, she married Charlie Chaplin, and the movie was re-released at some point after that (perhaps in the very late 1910s, but also perhaps in the very early 1920s), and she was actually incredibly deceptively given top billing in the movie as "Mildred Harris Chaplin", to capitalize on her Charlie Chaplin connection, over that of the distinguished Shakespearean actor, Sir Herbert Beerbohm Tree (and she only had a minor part)!

Important Added Info: Note that this three-sheet measures 39 3/4" x 77 1/2" [101 x 197 cm], but it has not been trimmed. Also note that this three-sheet was printed in 3 sections designed to overlap. Finally, note this three-sheet poster was tri-folded only (which means there is one less vertical machine fold than usual). This means the poster has a significantly lesser number of folds than with three-sheets folded in the "regular" way, which is nice! Tri-folded three-sheets need to be sent in an oversized flat package, which measures roughly 13" x 30", so they cost more to send than regularly folded three-sheets, especially if they are sent to non-U.S. addresses. Note that this item needs to be shipped in an oversized flat package. If it is a size that might ordinarily be rolled in a tube (like a half-sheet), the reason it is in this auction is specifically because we feel it either CAN'T be rolled or because we feel it would be a mistake to roll it, because it might well damage the item. In the case of the few items that could be rolled, we will roll the item in a tube if the new owner insists, but only if they accept that they can't return the item if it is damaged from being rolled. So please bear in mind that this item must be sent in a LARGE flat package (the size of the package will depend on the size of the item), and bear this added expense in mind before placing a bid on it. Condition: poor to fair. The poster has become brittle with age and there is tattering and paper loss around the edges of the sections of the poster. Learn More about condition grades
