An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked One-Sheet Movie Poster (measures 27" x 41") (Learn More) a circa 1942 stock poster for the Vitaphone Broadway Brevities musical short subject series ("Comedy, Music, Sports, Novelty, Drama, Dancing, Mystery") created by Warner Bros. for use for all entries of their "Broadway Brevities" series, with artwork scenes from typical entries in the series, including one of a circus clown with a small dog, race horses on a race track, waterskiers, a horror-looking spooky character, divers, and high-wire trapeze artists. This particular stock poster is undated, but, based on the litho number, it would seem to surely date from 1942 or 1943. Theaters would order this poster, which had a large blank rectangle in the bottom left. They would be sent a series of large paper snipes with the titles of specific entries of the series, and they could paste in each snipe as needed, thus getting many posters for the price of one. Sometimes stock posters are found with blank snipe areas, sometimes with a printed snipe attached, and sometimes with a name handwritten in the snipe area. This particular poster does not have anything in the bottom blank rectangular area. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Condition: very good. The poster had tiny paper loss at the bottom two crossfolds. It had creases and scuffs on parts of the foldlines. There were some minor border defects. Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to linenbacking. The restorer linenbacked the poster "in the European style", meaning that they did not do restoration to the defects described above, but they are really not at all distracting (and any restorer could easily touch them up without re-backing the poster).
