Date Sold 4/14/2009 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Paperbacked Window Card Movie Poster (WC; measures 14" x 22") (Learn More) Queen of the Night Clubs, the 1929 Bryan Foy nightclub murder crime musical melodrama ("See and hear") starring Texas Guinan, Eddie Foy Jr., Lila Lee, John Miljan, Arthur Housman, and George Raft (in his first movie appearance!). Note that Texas Guinan was sort of like a Texas version of Louise Brooks! She was much more famous for her life outside of the few movies she made in her career. She was a notorious outspoken party girl who treated men badly, but from her, they took it (her trademark greeting was, "Hello sucker"). She started with Triangle Film Corp in 1917 where she made 4 films including The Gun Woman. Then she went to Frohman Amusement where she made 13 films, possibly more, then she went to ReelCraft/BullsEye again making 13 films including The Night Rider which was directed by Therdo Joos in 1920. She then made 3-5 films for Victor Kremer Productions and then started her own production company where she made 12 films on her own. In 1929, when she made this movie, her first since those short films, Melody Distributors re-released some of her early films with sound added. These included Fighting the Vigilantes, Girl of the Rancho, Lady of the Law, Letters of Fire, Moonshine Feud, My Lady Robinhood, Night Rider, Not Guilty, and White Squaw. Whoever owned the rights to the 13 short films she made between 1917 and 1921 re-released them at this time (adding sound), and that distributor created a great stock poster featuring a beautiful stone litho headshot image of Guinan wearing a cowboy hat, with her trademark reading next to her, and her name, and the name of this current movie, "Queen of the Night Clubs" under her name. Note that this is a lost movie, but that Texas Guinan played "Texas Malone", and likely played a fictionalized version of herself.

Important Added Info: Note that original vintage movie paper from the first release of this movie is extremely rare! In the past 20 years, we have never had an original poster or lobby card, just a few stills! Also note that the poster has an artist's signature on it, but we cannot make it out in the slightest. If anyone knows the name of this artist, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Also note that this poster has been paperbacked. What is paperbacking? This means the poster was backed onto a light paper backing (acid-free), that is similar in feel to that of the original poster (it means that the poster must be handled carefully, as the backing does not give it much added strength, but it is similar to having an unrestored poster, and yet it has been properly preserved). It is a similar process to linenbacking, except that most collectors use linenbacking for one-sheets and paperbacking for half-sheets, inserts, window cards. Condition: good to very good. The poster had some creases, smudges, tears, pinholes, and tiny areas of paper loss around the edges of the poster. There was a smudge in the center of Guinan's hair, extending down into her forehead and some smudges and faint stains scattered in the image. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to paperbacking. The poster was pretty well backed, but you can see signs of the above defects and the restoration of the above defects.
