An Original Vintage Theatrical Unfolded Window Card Movie Poster (WC; measures 14" x 22" [36 x 56 cm]) (Learn More) Varsity, the 1928 Frank Tuttle college romantic family relationship comedy ("Everybody's cheering"; about an alcoholic janitor at Princeton University, and he helps an orphan get into the college, and he acts as his "guardian angel"; in his second year, the young man gets drunk after a fight with his girlfriend and loses the class' money gambling, but the janitor takes the blame, and helps him all the way until he graduates, and he marries his girlfriend, and he never does learn that the old alcoholic who helped him so much was actually his father!) starring Charles 'Buddy' Rogers, Mary Brian, Chester Conklin, Phillips Holmes, and Robert Ellis. Note that this is a "lost" film which means that no surviving copies are thought to exist. Note that Phillips Holmes had made an impression in some movies in the late 1920s. In 1931, he would get the lead in the first version of "An American Tragedy", which made it seem like he would become a major star, but that didn't materialize. He had a major affair with Libby Holman, but that was certainly complicated, and when they broke up, she immediately married his brother! Oddly, years later, Holman would have another very complicated affair with Montgomery Clift, who played the same part in the remake of "An American Tragedy", re-titled "A Place in the Sun". Sadly, Holmes died in a plane crash in 1942. I am very surprised no one has made a movie about his life, or a joint movie about him and Libby Holman. Note that this is a "lost" film, which means that no surviving copies are thought to exist. 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 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: good to very good. There are creases in the bottom left corner and the card is starting to separate in that area. There are some tiny tears and paper loss around the edges. The card is somewhat fragile.
