An Original Vintage Theatrical Paperbacked Half-Sheet Movie Poster (1/2sh; measures 22" x 28" [56 x 71 cm]) (Learn More) Meddling Women, the 1924 Ivan Abramson silent theater murder mystery melodrama (a truly wild story about a playwright who marries an opera singer, and his mother does everything she can to break them up, and they split, and he gets involved with a cabaret singer, and he loses his memory, and the cabaret singer convinces him he is really a famous bootlegger, and things get crazier from there, but at the end, it turns out to have all been a dream!) starring Lionel Barrymore ("In his latest and greatest artistic achievement"), Sigrid Holmquist, Dagmar Godowsky, Hugh Thompson, and Ida Darling 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 first release 1924 movie paper from this movie is incredibly rare. We have never auctioned even a single poster or lobby card from this movie until we received this half-sheet! What is most unusual is that this poster promotes this movie as Barrymore's "latest and greatest", and in addition to a scene from this movie, it also has images of him in four of his greatest previous movies in each corner, with the names of those movies! Note that this poster has been paperbacked. What is paperbacking? This means the poster was backed onto a paper backing (acid-free), that is similar in feel to that of the original poster (except somewhat heavier). It is a similar process to linenbacking, except that most collectors use linenbacking for one-sheets and paperbacking for half-sheets, inserts, window cards, and lobby cards. Note that because this poster was paperbacked onto a thicker paper backing, it CAN'T be sent rolled (someone could conceivably roll it or try to do so, but we think it would have a strong chance of lessening its condition, so we will only send it in a very large flat package, unless the buyer insists, and then they would be responsible for any damage). What IS paperbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good. Prior to paperbacking, the poster was never folded. It had pinholes in the corners and some tears around the edges, including a 6" tear in the right of the top border that goes down through the center of Barrymore's face. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to paperbacking. The poster was pretty well backed, but you can see signs of the above defects and the restoration of the above defects.
