Holt of the Secret Service, the 1941 James W. Horne police detective crime serial ("Blazing new trails of blood-tingling excitement!"; "An Adventure-Blazing Chapter Play"; "Filling criminals with hot lead... And the screen with thrills!"; "Bullet-blazing fury blasts the underworld's hideaways!"; "The great Holt in a thunderbolt of thrills!"; "Coming to death-grips with desperate counterfeiters!"; "A Columbia Chapter Play"; "A heart-pounding chapter play"; "A pulse-pounding chapter play"; "A terror-stalked chapter play"; "A suspense-cramped chapter play"; "A thrill-roaring Chapter play"; "A blood-freezing Chapter Play") starring Jack Holt ("Most popular action star of all time in his first serial!"; in the title role), Evelyn Brent, John Ward, Tristram Coffin, Joe McGuinn and Ted Adams. Note that Jack Holt spent most of the 1930s playing square-jawed tough guy leads, but he did not appear in a serial until this one, leading Columbia to add the above tagline ("Most popular action star of all time in his first serial!").

Important Added Info:

What IS linenbacking? Learn More

Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good. The poster had tiny paper loss at the bottom two crossfolds and minor wear on the folds. It had tiny paper loss in the right blank border. Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to linenbacking. The restorer backed the poster "in the European style", meaning that they did not do restoration to the defects described above, but they are really not very distracting (and a talented restorer could touch them up without re-backing the poster).
