An Original Vintage Theatrical Window Card Movie Poster (measures 13 3/4" x 21 1/4") (Learn More) Making a Living, the 1914 Henry Lehrman silent news reporter comedy short starring Charlie Chaplin (Charles Chaplin), Virginia Kirtley, Alice Davenport, Henry Lehrman, Minta Durfee, and Billy Gilbert 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 "window card" was handmade by a local theater. It appears to be advertising a 1914 Charlie Chaplin short, called "Making a Living". We believe this to be so, because the image of the girl appears to be that of Virginia Kirtley, and she only made two movies with Chaplin, and this one seems to be the one that would be re-titled "When Charley got his Tin Type Took". We have no clue when this card would have been made and used. It is possibly from the 1910s or 1920s, but it is also quite possible that it is a "tribute" kind of item that was made at a much later date (although looking at how badly it has aged, I would have to think it is potentially quite old). It consists of a very thin paper that was mounted to a board backing, and a photograph that has been glued on to the poster. The paper is greatly separating from the board backing on the entire top right of the poster, and there is damage in the top left, and the paper is separating there as well. Also note that this window card measures 13 3/4" x 21 1/4". Please do not bid on this item thinking it is surely from the 1910s or 1920s, as it could possibly be from a later date. Do not bid unless you can accept the uncertainty about its origin! Condition: good. Learn More about condition grades
