An Original Vintage Theatrical Australian Daybill Movie Poster (db; measures 14 1/2" x 40" [37 x 102 cm]) (Learn More)

The Quarterback, the 1926 Fred C. Newmeyer silent college university football sports screwball comedy ("Story by W.O. McGeehan and William Slavens McNutt"; "Football game supervised by 'Hurry Up' Yost"; a wacky story of a man who is quarterback of his college football team in 1899, and they lose to their rival, and he vows to stay in school until they beat the rival, and 27 years later, he is still in school, because they have never beaten the rival, and his son is a great football player who can finally let his father leave school, but he doesn't seem eligible to play, although everything works out in the end) starring Richard Dix, Esther Ralston, Harry Beresford, David Butler, and Robert W. Craig. Note that Charles Starrett and Barton MacLane were among the many, many people who had uncredited parts as some of the football players. We don't know if any of the other people who played football players went on to fame, but there probably are at least a few!

Artist: Richardson Studio
Important Added Info: Note that ANY movie paper from this movie is incredibly rare. We have only previously auctioned a herald, a glass slide, and seven stills from this movie (and NO other movie paper of any kind) until we received this Australian daybill, with a great Richardson Studio football stone litho image! The poster was mounted onto a heavy board, so it must be sent in a very large flat package, so bear that added expense in mind before bidding.

Condition: good. The poster has light smudges and scuffs scattered throughout, with some creases and tears along the folds, and tiny paper loss at the right end of the bottom fold, in the blank area. Someone many years ago mounted this poster onto a heavy board. Obviously, it can be removed from the board and restored, but bear this in mind before bidding on this poster.
