An Original Vintage Theatrical Unfolded Half-Sheet Movie Poster (1/2sh; measures 22" x 28") (Learn More) The Gown of Destiny, the 1917 Lynn Reynolds silent World War I (WWI) melodrama (based on a Saturday Evening Post story by Earl Der Biggers; an unusual episodic movie, where a famous French clothing designer in New York City creates a beautiful gown, and then the gown is passed through several hands, in each case changing the owners' lives, and the movie tells the story of each of the owners; in a final twist, the gown ends up in the hands of a French mayor, and it saves his life during World War I, and by an amazing coincidence, the mayor is the father of the clothing designer) starring Alma Rubens, Herrera Tejedde, Allan Sears, Lillian West, and J. Barney Sherry 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 normally, when we sell silent era half-sheets, we send them flat between boards, because the paper they were printed on is quite fragile, and can't be rolled in a tube. However, this poster has aged so remarkably well that it is still "rollable", and we will send it rolled in a tube! Also note that this poster has never been machine folded! Most half-sheet posters were folded once horizontally and once vertically right off of the printing press. It is very difficult to find an unfolded example of most half-sheets, especially from before 1970! Condition: very good. There is a 3" tear in the right of the top blank border and stains and smudges across the top of the top blank border, and a lesser amount of stains and smudges in the other borders, but other than the above, the poster is in pretty nice condition!
