Original Vintage Theatrical Folded One-Sheet Movie Poster (measures 26 1/2" x 38") (Learn More) On the Dawn Road, the 1915 silent thriller short (written by H. Tipton Steck) starring Alan Roscoe (billed as Albert Roscoe), Beverly Bayne, and Lester Cuneo. Note that Lester Cuneo had been a major comedy star at the Selig Studio in 1912, but after just a few movies, he chose to re-invent himself as a cowboy star, and had success there as well, also playing dramatic roles at the same time. He served in World War I (WWI), and returned to Hollywood and again began making westerns, playing a character billed as "The Smiling Daredevil". But by the early 1920s, his westerns were less and less successful, and after a series of personal and professional failures, Cuneo could not get any parts at all, and he committed suicide in 1925.

Important Added Info: Note that this one-sheet has been trimmed and now measures 26 1/2" x 38". Please do not bid on this poster thinking it is 27" x 41". Also note that it is on an extremely old linen (probably applied in 1915)! It was not unusual at this time for distributors to mount one-sheets on a thin linen and then fold them as usual. This extra linen backing gave much added support to the poster and prevented it from falling apart as it moved from theater to theater. The poster is lifting from the linen, and any talented restorer could easily remove it. Condition: good to very good. Learn More about condition grades
