Spectacular! Terrifying! The raw courage of women without men lost in a fantastic Hell-On-Earth!"; "Story by Irving Block"; a really wacky story of viking women whose men have been captured, and they set off to rescue the men, but they themselves are captured, and they also have an encounter with a giant sea serpent) starring Abby Dalton, Susan Cabot, Brad Jackson, June Kenney, Richard Devon, Gary Conway, and Jonathan Haze NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Artist: Reynold Brown Important Added Info: Note that in the 1910s through 1930s, studios would make large cloth banners that movie theaters could hang up above their lobbies (or above their entrances). In the early 1940s, they changed to making paper banners (perhaps there was a cloth shortage during World War II). At first, they were made of one-sheet-like paper, and they didn't survive very well, and they apparently were not very popular, because very few survive. At some point around 1946, they changed to making them out of a heavy paper stock, similar to that used for 40x60s, but measuring 24" x 80". Many people think these became very popular at drive-in theaters, which were then expanding at a major pace throughout the country. The paper banners were very popular until the late 1960s, and then far fewer were made (perhaps corresponding to the decline in popularity of drive-in theaters). We have been consigned a wonderful collection of 133 of these paper banners, and we are auctioning them all, in 133 separate auctions. This is a great opportunity to acquire one or many of these rare posters! Condition: good. There are many scuffs and stains scattered throughout the poster, with a few tears in the borders and a tear and paper loss in the "V" of "VIKING" and the same in the top center of the poster (see our image).
