A 1937 Re-Release Theatrical Folded One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) Shadows of the Orient, the 1935 Burt P. Lynwood immigrant Asian smuggling gambling romantic crime action melodrama ("Original story by L.E. Heifetz"; Esther Ralston is a socialite who is arrested in Sidney Blackmer's Asian gambling casino; Blackmer gets her out of trouble, but expects her to help him with his immigrant smuggling operation and illegal gambling casino; Regis Toomey is an immigration agent who breaks up Blackmer's schemes and wins Ralston's hand!) starring Esther Ralston, Regis Toomey, J. Farrell MacDonald, Oscar Apfel, and Sidney Blackmer. Note that this movie was made in 1935 and released by Empire Films, but we have never ever seen or heard of any paper from that release (it was reviewed in the Motion Picture Herald in 1936, so it apparently DID get some sort of release somewhere, but it was apparently a very limited release). In 1937, Monogram took the unusual step of releasing it as a brand new movie, with a nice advertising campaign, and the poster we are offering here is the very first we have ever seen from the 1937 Monogram release. Technically, 1937 Monogram items are re-releases, but 1935 Empire Films items don't exist, and they would look completely different from the 1937 release posters. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Condition: fair to good. The poster is in lesser condition. There are several defects scattered along the borders and foldlines/crossfolds, and there are one or more areas of significant foldline and/or crossfold separation, especially in the upper and lower vertical foldline, upper and lower horizontal folds and there is much paper loss in the upper corners. The separation in the folds has made the poster fragile and it must be handled carefully to avoid further defects. The poster, otherwise, is mostly "all there" and certainly a competent restorer could repair the defects described above and improve its condition, but please bear in mind the cost of restoration before placing a bid.
