An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded Style B One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 26" x 40" [66 x 102 cm]) (Learn More) Rex Beach's The Spoilers, the 1930 Edward Carewe Alaska gold mining romantic melodrama ("Rex Beach's immortal story"; "You've never seen this picture before!"; "Strong Men - in their grim struggle! Women- of one kind or another! Love-hate-conflict in a land where a weakling didn't belong!"; "Greatest of Yukon romances!"; based on the novel "by Rex Beach"; about three men who have a gold mine in Alaska, but local crooks who run the town try to legally steal it away from them) starring Gary Cooper, Kay Johnson, Betty Compson, William 'Stage' Boyd, Harry Green, Slim Summerville, Oscar Apfel, and William Farnum (in a bit part as a fight spectator; he played the original hero in the 1914 version of this movie!). Note that there were two silent movies based on this same Rex Beach novel (in 1914 and 1923), and two later sound versions (in 1942 and 1956). 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 poster has no blank borders, but it has NOT been trimmed. This is one of two unusual experiments Paramount did with one-sheets from part of 1928 through part of 1931. They printed their regular one-sheets with a "full bleed", meaning the solid borders ran all the way to the edge of the poster, and the small writing at the bottom is within the color area, because there is no white area beneath it. They also made some special one-sheets, which are basically like giant half-sheets (printed on the same thick material), but they measure exactly 27" x 41" and also have no blank borders. Both of these printing methods were abandoned after a short time (probably because printers at the time had difficulty printing with a full bleed). It would not be until around 1990 that printers would again print movie posters with a full bleed! Condition: good to very good. There is approximately 3" of separation and tattering in the top of the vertical fold. There is minor separation and paper loss at each crossfold as well as a few 1" and smaller tears around the edges of the poster (mostly along the bottom edge). There are some light stains in the background along the upper left edge of the poster. This is the type of poster that will respond well to linenbacking. After a simple linenbacking by a professional (or talented amateur), the poster will look fantastic, and there should be very little paint restoration anywhere on the poster!
