An Original Vintage Theatrical Unfolded Insert Movie Poster (measures 14" x 36" [36 x 91 cm]) (Learn More)

The Winning of Barbara Worth, the 1926 Henry King silent pioneer romantic melodrama ("Adapted by Frances Marion from the novel by Harold Bell Wright"; "The Book Thrilled Millions! The Picture will Enthrall Millions More"; "From the famous novel - by Harold Bell Wright"; about a man who dreams of irrigating the western desert so people can live there, and he has an adopted daughter and a handsome young man, who is the lead guy's right hand man, and he builds a dam that is intended to irrigate the desert, but it may break and flood the valley) starring Ronald Colman, Vilma Banky (in the title role as Barbara Worth), Charles Lane, Paul McAllister, E.J. Ratcliffe, Gary Cooper (in his first credited role; an important early role as the young man who has been Colman's right hand man for many years), and Clyde Cook. Note that Gary Cooper received sixth billing, and he is not billed or pictured on any of the posters, although he is pictured on some of the lobby cards. We got the order of billing from the program book, where is he solely billed and not pictured at all.

Important Added Info: Note that we have only auctioned one example of this extremely rare poster in all our years of auctioning (and now that very same poster has been reconsigned to us for this auction, so it is still the only example we have ever auctioned)! Note that this poster is very old and fragile, and attempting to roll it would surely damage it. Therefore we will only send it in a very large flat package. Please bear that extra shipping cost in mind BEFORE placing a bid on this poster.

Note that this item needs to be shipped in an oversized flat package. If it is a size that might ordinarily be rolled in a tube (like a half-sheet), the reason it is in this auction is specifically because we feel it either CAN'T be rolled or because we feel it would be a mistake to roll it, because it might well damage the item. In the case of the few items that could be rolled, we will roll the item in a tube if the new owner insists, but only if they accept that they can't return the item if it is damaged from being rolled. So please bear in mind that this item must be sent in a LARGE flat package (the size of the package will depend on the size of the item), and bear this added expense in mind before placing a bid on it.

Condition: poor to fair. There is much staining in the top of the poster, including in the stars' faces. There is paper loss and staining in the bottom 3" of the poster (see our image). It is extremely fragile. This poster certainly could be restored, but bear this expense in mind before bidding on this poster.
