Important Added Info: Note that in the 1910s through 1930s, studios would make large cloth banners that movie theaters could hang up above their lobbies (or above their entrances). In the early 1940s, they changed to making paper banners (perhaps there was a cloth shortage during World War II). At first, they were made of one-sheet-like paper, and they didn't survive very well, and they apparently were not very popular, because very few survive. At some point around 1946, they changed to making them out of a heavy paper stock, similar to that used for 40x60s, but measuring 24" x 80". Many people think these became very popular at drive-in theaters, which were then expanding at a major pace throughout the country. The paper banners were very popular until the late 1960s, and then far fewer were made (perhaps corresponding to the decline in popularity of drive-in theaters). We have been consigned a wonderful collection of 133 of these paper banners, and we are auctioning them all, in 133 separate auctions. This is a great opportunity to acquire one or many of these rare posters! Condition: poor to fair. There are a huge number of stains, smudges, scuffs, and staple holes scattered throughout the poster. There is a long diagonal scuff through the top of the credits. There are tears in the left border and tears and paper loss in the right border, with some crude tape repairs on many of the tears. Learn More about condition grades
