Date Sold 7/21/2015Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Undated (probably 1930s) Re-Release Theatrical Paperbacked Window Card Movie Poster (WC; measures 14" x 22" [36 x 56 cm]) (Learn More) The Son of the Sheik, the 1926 George Fitzmaurice Arabian silent desert romantic adventure melodrama sequel ("Hail now! 'The Son of the Sheik'"; "A sequel to 'The Sheik'"; "From the novel by E.M. Hull - Adapted to the screen by Frances Marion"; the son has his way with a dancing girl, and her father captures him and tortures him as payback) starring Rudolph Valentino (in a dual title role as both Sheik Ahmed Ben Hassan and Ahmed, the Sheik's son; in his final movie role!), Vilma Banky (as Yasmin), George Fawcett, Montagu Love, and Karl Dane. Note that this movie was a sequel to Valentino's wildly successful 1920 "The Sheik". Unfortunately, he passed away when filming was completed, and it was not released until after his death. 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 from one of two different re-releases for this movie from ArtCinema. On one, the one-sheet is red, blue, and black, and has a large "BY POPULAR DEMAND" at the top. On the other, the one-sheet is blue and red (as is the window card), and it has a large "SENSATIONAL REVIVAL by POPULAR DEMAND". It is possible that they were two different posters made for the same re-release, but it is more likely they are from two different re-releases. We were able to date the red, blue, and black one to 1938 by the litho number, but the other poster does not have a litho number, so we are simply calling it "R1930s". If anyone knows more about either of these posters, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Note that this poster has been paperbacked. What is paperbacking? This means the poster was backed onto a light paper backing (acid-free), that is similar in feel to that of the original poster (it means that the poster must be handled carefully, as the backing does not give it much added strength, but it is similar to having an unrestored poster, and yet it has been properly preserved). It is a similar process to linenbacking, except that most collectors use linenbacking for one-sheets and paperbacking for half-sheets, inserts, window cards. What IS paperbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good. Prior to paperbacking, the card had a fold across the top red area just above the word "RUDOLPH". It had a horizontal crease running across the lower part of the image, passing through the bottom of Banky's hair and Valentino's hand. It had some creases, tears, and small paper loss around the edges. Overall, the card was in good to very good condition prior to paperbacking. The card was nicely backed, and displays well!
