An Original Vintage Theatrical Window Card Movie Poster (WC; measures 14" x 22") (Learn More) Sally's Shoulders, the 1928 Lynn Shores silent nightclub gambler flapper melodrama ("Today's girl - stripped of sham and shame"; "Beatrice Burton's mighty novel of the jazz regime"; anticipating the troubles of the Stock Market crash and the Depression that began the following year, this movie tells the story of a rich socialite who loses all her money, and she has to raise her young brother and sister, and she ends up working as a hostess in a sleazy gambling casino) starring Lois Wilson (in the title role as Sally), Huntley Gordon, George Hackathorne, Lucille Williams, Edythe Chapman, and Ione Holmes 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 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. Condition: good. The entire window card had darkened. There was a horizontal fold with rough creases running across the image 1" below the bottom of the red area, extending through the hair and forehead of the girl. There was another horizontal fold with a lesser number of creases running across the top of the letters in the word "SALLY'S" at the top of the poster. There were some creases, pinholes, and tears around the edges of the poster. Overall, the poster was in good condition prior to paperbacking. The poster was well backed by a talented restorer, who did not touch up many of the faint smudges and scuffs (and I agree with that decision, because to do so would have required lots of paint, which would have given the poster a "heavily restored" look, and I don't feel the smudges and scuffs are all that distracting, and they help establish that this is a genuine 81 year-old original poster!). Obviously, one would prefer to find an example of this window card that had no defects or restoration, but I do not know if another example of this card exists (or if it does, if the owner would consider parting with it!). This card has had expert restoration and displays nicely. Learn More about condition grades
