An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded Window Card Movie Poster (WC; measures 14" x 22" [36 x 56 cm]) (Learn More) Main Street, the 1923 Harry Beaumont silent young-woman-moving-from-the-city-to-a-small-town melodrama ("All the tragedy, the humor and the romance of Sinclair Lewis' celebrated novel"; adapted from the best selling novel by Sinclair Lewis) starring Florence Vidor (as Carol Milford Kennicott), Monte Blue ("and a typical cast of WARNER stars"; as Dr. Will Kennicott), Harry Myers, Robert Gordon, Louise Fazenda, Noah Beery Sr., and Alan Hale Sr. Note that this movie was made three years after Sinclair Lewis wrote this major best-seller, which sold well over a million copies soon after its publication. It was remade in 1936 as "I Married a Doctor", with Pat O'Brien and Josephine Hutchinson. We have never seen either version, so we don't know if they were faithful to the novel, or how they were received by the public. If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here. 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 posters of any kind from this movie adapted from Sinclair Lewis' novel are extremely rare. We have previously auctioned the exact same example of this window card, but have never auctioned any poster, just lobby cards. Note that this window card was folded in half, and because it was folded perfectly in half, it can be sent in one of our standard size mailers. If it is purchased by itself (or solely with other posters that can be sent in standard size mailers), it will be sent that way. But if it is purchased with posters that need to be sent in oversized mailers, then we will of course send it that way. Condition: good to very good. The window card was folded across the middle and there are rough creases along that fold. There is light brown darkening in the right border, slightly affecting the corners of the green background and some tiny bits of surface paper loss in a few places in the borders.
