An Original Vintage Theatrical Unfolded Half-Sheet Movie Poster (1/2sh; measures 22" x 28") (Learn More) Hashimura Togo, the 1917 William C. de Mille romantic love triangle melodrama (about a Japanese diplomat who accepts disgrace that his brother committed, and he leaves Japan and goes to the U.S., where he works as a butler for a formerly rich family; the daughter is being pressured to marry a rich man when she loves someone else, and the butler is able to solve her problems, which allows him to return to Japan and marry his own sweetheart) starring Sessue Hayakawa (in the title role; he played many Asian villains in silent movies, and decades later triumphantly returned to the screen in "The Bridge Over the River Kwai"), Florence Vidor, Mabel Van Buren, Walter Long, and Tom Forman 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 is a hand-colored half-sheet. In the days of silent movies prior to the invention of good quality full-color printing, studios would have posters printed in black and white and then amazingly would hire women to hand-color the posters one at a time (apparently labor was very cheap at the time)! So, each poster is colored slightly differently, and the coloring is never a perfect match. Also note that this half-sheet is very old, and it would not make sense to attempt to roll it, as the paper is fragile enough that rolling it might damage it. Therefore we will send it in a large flat package. Please bear that extra shipping cost in mind BEFORE placing a bid on this poster! Note that the poster is not so fragile that it is "falling to pieces"! If it is handled carefully, it can absolutely be framed and enjoyed without any worry. Condition: good to very good.
