An Original Vintage Unfolded Stage Play Poster (measures 25" x 33" [64 x 84 cm]) (Learn More) The Runaway, the 1911 Broadway stage play production (based on the book by Michael Morton) starring Billie Burke (billed as "Miss Billie Burke in her greatest comedy success"), Adelaide Cumming, George Howell, Jane Evans, Emily Wakeman, and Harry Barfoot. Note that this is surely one of the earlier Billie Burke surviving stage play posters (she appeared in this play three years before she married Florenz Ziegfeld, and four years before she appeared in her first movie). Also note that Charles Frohman (credited on the poster) was a famous Broadway producer at the turn of the 20th century, who was one of the founders of what became Paramount Pictures! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Condition: poor to fair. The poster has paper loss across the bottom area that unfortunately removes the bulk of the title. There are also tears and areas of paper loss around the edges of the poster and tears and tiny paper loss in Burke's hat. There is a tear running through Burke's chin, and some other tears scattered throughout the poster, including light smudges scattered primarily in the background areas. There is much paper tape on the back of the poster. Obviously, this poster has REALLY major defects, but it is very fortunate that only a few of the defects are in Burke's face or figure. Because enough of the title remains that one can see the type style that was used, any talented restorer could recreate the title, and after proper restoration to the rest of the poster, it will really display great. Bear in mind the poster's major defects and the cost of restoration before placing a bid on this surely extremely rare and historic poster!
