An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked Other Company One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) The Case of the Stuttering Bishop, the 1937 William Clemens mystery crime thriller ("Baffling mystery! With thrills galore!"; based on the Perry Mason series of books by Erle Stanley Gardner; about a bishop from Australia who asks Mason to investigate the case of a woman who was wrongly accused of manslaughter 22 years before, and of course, he has a brilliant summation in court where he solves the crime!) starring Ann Dvorak (as Della Street), Donald Woods (as Perry Mason), Anne Nagel, Linda Perry, Veda Ann Borg, Joseph Crehan (as Paul Drake), and "a great cast". Note that Warner Bros. purchased the rights to these characters in 1934, and the first movie in the series was "The Case of the Howling Dog" starring Warren William. William played Mason in three more entries, and then Ricardo Cortez took over in 1936 for "The Case of the Black Cat". This movie was the sixth and final of the series, with Donald Woods in the lead role, and after that, the next Perry Mason on screen would be Raymond Burr in the classic 1960s TV series! Note that Donald Woods went on to appear in lots of B-movies, both in starring and supporting roles, and he called himself the "King of the Bs". 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 was printed by the "other company". This was a company in the Midwest that from roughly 1936 to roughly 1941 printed its own one-sheets and lobby card sets (and a very few inserts, half-sheets, three-sheets, 40x60s and stills) for three major studio movies (Warner Brothers, Paramount and United Artists, but no other studios). The posters and lobby cards are from the original release of the movie, and almost always have completely different artwork from the regular studio release. They never have the name of the releasing studio on the poster or any of the lobby cards, but many years later, noted poster dealer/historian Walter Reuben discovered that the name of the company was "Associated Displays Corporation" and that they were based in Manhattan, New York (oddly, no collectors knew the name of this company for decades!). Sometimes, "other company" posters or lobby cards have images that are the equal of those from the regular studio release posters or lobby cards! What IS linenbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good. The poster had tiny paper loss at the crossfolds and a small circular area of paper loss in the vertical foldline in the right of the "H" of "BISHOP". There were tiny bits of paper loss and tiny tears in the vertical foldline between the top and bottom crossfolds, with a lesser amount of wear on the other foldlines. There were pinholes around the edges. Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was nicely backed, and displays well! Learn More about condition grades
