If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this is a "stock" poster created by Pathe for use by theaters showing their 1920s Mack Sennett movies. Theaters would order this
poster, which had a large blank area at bottom right. Sometimes the studio would overprint the stock poster with the title of a specific movie,
and sometimes they were sent a series of large paper snipes with the titles of specific entries of the series, so the theater could paste in
each snipe as needed, thus getting many posters for the price of one. Sometimes stock posters are found with blank snipe areas. Most collectors
consider them more valuable with a printed snipe attached, or with an overprinted snipe area (this poster was overprinted with the title "The Lion and the Souse"). Note that, because this is a "stock" poster that was used for all Mack Sennett shorts, the image is NOT of any particular
Sennett comedy star, but instead is a great stone litho image of a bunch of sexy girls wearing what were then incredibly skimpy costumes! Condition: good to very good. There are light brown stains along some of the foldlines. There is separation at the crossfolds and some of the ends of the foldlines and there are a few tears along the foldlines and edges of the poster. Overall, the poster is in generally nice condition especially considering its age! Learn More about condition grades
