An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Herald (measures 8 1/4" x 10 3/4" [21 x 27 cm]; 4 pages) (Learn More) Dracula, the classic 1931 Tod Browning Universal vampire monster horror thriller ("The Greatest of all Horror Thrillers"; "The Vampire Thriller!"; "The story of the strangest passion the world has ever known!"; "Do vampires really exist?"; "From the famous novel & play by Bram Stoker") starring Bela Lugosi (in the title role as Count Dracula), David Manners, Helen Chandler, Dwight Frye (if there had been a Best Supporting Actor Academy Award in 1931, Frye would have surely won it for his wild over-the-top portrayal as Renfield!), Edward Van Sloan (as Professor Abraham Van Helsing), Frances Dade, and Herbert Bunston NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that Universal created two different heralds for this classic movie. One measured 2 3/4" x 7" and had four pages, and had color printing. The other was a newspaper style herald that measured 8 1/4" x 10 3/4" and has four pages, with sepia printing (green and black on one side, and brown on the other). The newspaper style herald is more rare than the other one, although both are not often seen at auction or for sale. Of course, first release 1931 U.S. movie paper from this all time classic is extremely rare and expensive. Yet this herald, which has great images on both sides, is surprisingly much more affordable than ANY other first release poster or lobby card on the film! Condition: good to very good. The herald was folded once in each direction. There is separation at the left end of the horizontal fold, resulting in approximately 2" of separation in the middle of the 2-page spread. There are also some creases and tears around the edges. There are a few faint stains on the back cover and the herald has darkened slightly. In spite of these defects, this great herald can certainly be displayed and enjoyed exactly as it is! Learn More about condition grades
