If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that we have never before auctioned this paper banner! Also note that the color inset image on this paper banner (see our image) was printed on a separate sheet and then attached to that area of the banner (this was commonly done with paper banners, and some 30x40s and 40x60s of this period). This is how the poster was created. Note that in the 1910s through 1930s, studios would make large cloth banners that movie theaters could hang up above their lobbies (or above their entrances). In the early 1940s, they changed to making paper banners (perhaps there was a cloth shortage during World War II). At first, they were made of one-sheet-like paper, and they didn't survive very well, and they apparently were not very popular, because very few survive. At some point around 1946, they changed to making them out of a heavy paper stock, similar to that used for 40x60s, but measuring 24" x 80". Many people think these became very popular at drive-in theaters, which were then expanding at a major pace throughout the country. The paper banners were very popular until the late 1960s, and then far fewer were made (perhaps corresponding to the decline in popularity of drive-in theaters). Note that this poster is very long, but because it is not very wide, it can be sent in a regular size tube. However, it can NOT be combined with other rolled posters, and must be either sent by itself (or combined with other paper banners that are exactly like this). Please bear this in mind before bidding on this poster. Condition: good to very good. The poster has creases and scuff marks scattered in various areas (typical of many paper banners that were likely displayed at one time) and a few smudges around the edges. There are a few horizontal creases in the tipped-in image at right. Overall the ultra-rare paper banner has survived in nicer condition than many other paper banners of this time period and is in generally nice condition! Learn More about condition grades
