An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 28 1/4" x 41" [72 x 104 cm]) (Learn More)

This is America: House of Mercy, the 1950 medical hospital doctor documentary short ("New release every 4 weeks"; "Produced by Jay Bonafield."; "No. 11, 8th Series"; this entry was about the new "community hospitals" which were being added all over America; prior to this time, there were only large hospitals, but these new smaller hospitals served a vital need in helping those in communities far away from major hospitals; in this short, a father goes to the hospital because his son was injured while playing baseball, and he sees the quality care that his son is given, and he is given a tour of the hospital, and he is impressed by "how scientifically and efficiently the staff works"!). Note that this is one of the "This is America" series of documentary short subjects that was distributed monthly by RKO between 1933 and 1951 (at least).
If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know.
Important Added Info: Note that this one-sheet measures 28 1/4" x 41" [72 x 104 cm].
