An Original Vintage Theatrical Unfolded Movie Window Card (WC; measures 14" x 22" [36 x 56 cm]) (Learn More) Alexander Hamilton, the 1931 John G. Adolfi post-Revolutionary War historical biography ("Based on the play by George Arliss and Mary Hamlin"; a fictionalized biography of one of the men who figured prominently in the birth of the United States, but he never became president) starring George Arliss (in the title role as Alexander Hamilton), Doris Kenyon (as Mrs. Betsy Hamilton), June Collyer, Dudley Digges, Montagu Love (as Thomas Jefferson), Lionel Belmore, and Alan Mowbray (in his fifth movie role; as George Washington!). Note that Hamilton did not figure prominently in movies or in mainstream media much over the years after this movie was made, until 2015, when a Broadway musical with music, lyrics, and book by Lin-Manuel Miranda opened, and it was a massive success! 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 we have never before auctioned this window card! Also note that this window card was never folded. Often window cards would be folded across the middle, because that would make them 11" x 14", and they could then be sent with standard folded posters. Most collectors put an added value on a window card that has never been folded. Condition: fair to good. There is much faint water staining in the lower left, including between the two stars' faces, and in the lower parts of their faces. Otherwise, the card is in pretty nice condition! This is the sort of card that responds really well to professional restoration. It is likely that much or all of the light water staining can be removed through chemical means, after which the card will look fantastic, and it will grade at least "very good"! However, bear in mind the cost of this restoration before bidding on this really rare window card. Learn More about condition grades
