An Original Vintage Theatrical Unfolded Half-Sheet Movie Poster (1/2sh; measures 22" x 28" [56 x 71 cm]) (Learn More) Lady Of The Pavements, the 1929 D.W. Griffith romantic love triangle mistaken identity melodrama ("The Romance of a Heart Thief!"; "From the story by Karl Volmoeller"; about a French girl engaged to a German diplomat in Paris; he finds out she has cheated on him, and he says that he would rather marry a streetwalker than marry her, and she then disguises herself as a sexy streetwalker and sets about romancing him!) starring William Boyd, Jetta Goudal, Lupe Velez, George Fawcett, Albert Conti, and Henry Armetta. Note that this film was filmed in both a sound and silent version. The sound version had a musical soundtrack that was synchronized, and there was one song that was sung by Lupe Velez, and interestingly, that song was written by Irving Berlin, who did not receive credit on the advertising we have seen! The sound version of this film survives, but sadly, the sound is missing on part of it. 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 ANY movie paper from this movie is incredibly rare. We have only previously auctioned two special posters, two lobby cards, and a few stills from this movie until we received this half-sheet! Also note that this poster is very old, and it would not make sense to attempt to roll it, as the paper is fragile and rolling it would surely damage it. Therefore we must be sent in a very large flat package. Please bear that extra shipping cost in mind BEFORE placing a bid on this poster! Condition: fair. The poster was never folded. It has noticeable light water staining near the center of Boyd's face, entering his ear, with scuff marks in his hair, entering his ear. It has diagonal creases, with one entering his nose and one lighter one running through part of his eye. There are also light stains in the upper part of Goudal's face. It has scuffs in the left of the image and small tears, pieces of tape, and some stains around the edges, with paper loss in the top left corner. The poster has much black paint and blue grease pencil scattered on the back. Obviously, this poster can be restored, but bear all of the above in mind before bidding on it.
