An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded Three-Sheet Movie Poster (measures 41" x 81") (Learn More)

The Whispering Shadow, the 1933 Al Herman & Colbert Clark (billed as "Bert Clark") horror crime murder mystery serial ("12 episodes of mystery, intrigue, and romance."; "Mascot Serials 'Blazing the Trail'"; "A serial thriller in twelve chapters"; about a criminal who commits murders through the clever use of television and radio waves, and a man whose brother was killed by that criminal, known as The Whispering Shadow, arrives to investigate his brother's death and his suspicions fall on the man who owns a creepy wax museum!) starring Bela Lugosi (in the title role as The Whispering Shadow), Henry B. Walthall, Karl Dane, Roy D'Arcy, Viva Tattersall, and Robert Warwick. Note that most of the lobby cards that have survived from this serial have a chapter title in the bottom border. There are also a few cards that are blank in that area. We suspect those are from a "feature" version of this serial. If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here.

If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know.
Important Added Info: This three-sheet was printed in 3 sections.

Condition: very good to fine. There is a censor stamp in the top left in the yellow background, and in the middle right, also in the yellow background. There was 10" of clean separation in the upper part of the vertical foldline (near the right edge of the "U" of "LUGOSI", and someone put conservation tape on the back of that area. Someone also put a couple of pieces of conservation tape on the back of the two crossfolds in that area, to mend separation. Someone put a 2" piece of conservation tape on the back of the bottom left corner, to mend a couple of tiny tears. Other than the above, the poster is in really nice condition. After a simple linenbacking by a top professional (during which time, the two censor stamps can easily be painted over, if the owner wishes). The poster will look fantastic, and there will be next-to-no paint restoration anywhere else in the poster!
