An Original Vintage Theatrical Unfolded Style B Half-Sheet Movie Poster (1/2sh; measures 22" x 28" [56 x 71 cm]) (Learn More) Warming Up, the 1928 Fred C. Newmeyer New York City baseball sports romantic love triangle comedy starring Richard Dix, Jean Arthur, Claude King, Philo McCullough, and Billy Kent Schaefer. Note that this movie featured Pittsburgh Pirates and Chicago Cubs baseball players, and that it was advertised as "Paramount's first sound movie". Note that TCM's synopsis of this movie says that Richard Dix's character pitches for the "Green Sox", but it sure looks like a New York Yankees cap that he is wearing on a lobby card we have seen, and he seems to be wearing a pinstripe uniform! Maybe they borrowed Yankee uniforms for filming, or maybe TCM is just wrong. If anyone knows more about this movie, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Note that this is a "lost" film, which means that no surviving copies are thought to exist. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Artist: W.H. Important Added Info: Note that first release 1928 movie posters from this early baseball movie are incredibly rare. We have only auctioned a single lobby card from this movie until we received this wonderful half-sheet! Note that this poster has never been machine folded! It is somewhat fragile, and we feel it would be a mistake to attempt to roll it, because it might well cause it to become damaged. Therefore, we will ship it in a large flat package, unless the new owner insists on rolling it. Condition: good to very good. There is tiny paper loss in three corners and paper loss in the bottom left corner, but only blank white paper is affected. There is a half inch tear in the bottom border and some faint smudges around the edges. Other than the above, this wonderful poster is in nice condition (especially considering its age).
