An Original Vintage Theatrical Window Card Movie Poster (WC; measures 14" x 22") (Learn More) Willard Mack's The Voice of the City, the 1929 Willard Mack New York City crime murder mystery detective melodrama ("All Talking Picture"; about a young man wrongly accused of murder and how a detective at first thinks he is guilty, but comes to believe he is innocent, and he does all he can to find evidence to save him) starring Robert Ames, Jim Farley, Sylvia Field, Willard Mack, Clark Marshall, and John Miljan (who played the villain!). Note that you likely never heard of star Robert Ames, but he was a leading man of the 1920s and 1930s, who seemed to have a bright future, but his personal life was a mess, and he had four failed marriages, and he became an alcoholic, and died from it at age 42 in 1931, not too long after he starred in this movie.

Often window cards would be folded across the middle, because that would make them 11" x 14", and they could then be sent with standard folded posters. Most collectors put an added value on a window card that has never been folded. Condition: good. There are some small areas of paper loss and tears around the edges of the card. There is a 3" tear in the upper left of the image and a 2" tear in the lower left of the image. The entire card has darkened. There are some smudges in the image area and there is water staining on the back of the card. The entire card is fragile and would greatly benefit from professional paperbacking and restoration.
