An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded Argentinean Movie Poster (measures 14 1/2" x 29" [37 x 74 cm]) (Learn More) Mother Machree, the 1928 John Ford family carnival melodrama ("Smiling Irish Eyes and Aching Irish Hearts"; about a woman who works in a carnival, and sends her son to a fine school, but when they discover his connection to her, he is expelled, and adopted by the school principal, and he grows up to fall in love with the principal's daughter) starring Belle Bennett (in the title role as Mother Machree), Neil Hamilton, Victor McLaglen (as the Giant of Kilkenny, a tattooed man), Ted McNamara, Ethel Clayton, Philippe DeLacy, Constance Howard, and John Wayne (in an early uncredited role) NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this is one of a remarkable find of 143 Argentinean posters from 1926 to 1929 that were recently discovered! They all measure approximately 14 1/4" x 28 1/4", which was one of the two main sizes created for Argentinean movie posters at that time (the other was a poster that measured 29" x 43"). It is likely that prior to this amazing find, there were only a small number of these posters known to exist in the entire world, and after these 143 are auctioned, it is unlikely that there will be many more discovered, even over the coming decades! This is a rare opportunity to purchase an Argentinean poster from the late 1920s, a time when virtually no movie posters from any country are known to exist! Note that this poster was folded at one time but has been laying flat for a long time and will be sent rolled in a tube. Condition: very good. There are a few minor patches of slight discoloration scattered in various areas (more so along the foldlines), typical of Argentinean posters of this time period. It is otherwise in pretty nice condition. Learn More about condition grades
