Date Sold 2/26/2013Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Undated (probably 1910s) Re-release Vintage Theatrical Folded One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) Tess of the Hills, the 1915 silent melodrama short ("2 Part Drama") starring Isabel Rea, Ivan Christy, and William J. Butler. Note that this is a poster from the Unicorn Film Service. This was a company that in 1917 or so bought the rights to early 1910s movies and then re-released them, often with changed titles. In the case of this movie, it was originally released in 1916. I had long suspected this, but I got confirmation from exhibitor magazines from 1917 that had ads for the Unicorn Film Service, which explained that they had older movies available to be booked by theaters who were doing poorly with movies they were currently showing and wanted to replace them with something that would do better! If anyone knows more about this movie or the Unicorn Film Service, please e-mail us and we will post it here. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know.
