An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded Style A Three-Sheet Movie Poster (3sh; measures 41" x 81" [104 x 206 cm]) (Learn More) Take a Chance, the 1933 Monte Brice & Laurence Schwab romantic musical crime comedy ("A barrel of fun"; "From the musical play 'Take A Chance' written by the authors Schwab, DeSylva, Youmans, Brown, Whiting"; "Now on the screen after 52 weeks on Broadway"; about a pair of pickpockets who work in a carnival, but go to Broadway, and get mixed up with gangsters and a beautiful girl) starring James Dunn, June Knight, Lillian Roth, Cliff Edwards, Lilian Bond, Dorothy Lee, Lona Andre, and Charles 'Buddy' Rogers. Note that June Knight was a striking blonde who appeared in 12 movies between 1930 and 1940, two of them in uncredited roles. Perhaps she had bad luck, but her movies were very forgettable, and she is completely forgotten today. If anyone knows more about her or what happened to her career, please e-mail us and we will post it here. 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 we have never auctioned this three-sheet before! Also note that this three-sheet was printed in 2 sections designed to overlap. Also note that the theater that used this poster glued the pieces together before putting them on display (this is typical of many actual theater-used posters in multiple pieces). Condition: good. The theater that used this poster glued the pieces together before putting them on display (this is typical of many actual theater-used posters in multiple pieces). The poster was attached to a wall with pieces of brown paper tape on the back of the corners. There are some faint brown stains scattered throughout the poster. There are some creases and several tears along the foldlines that were on the outside when the poster was fully folded. There are some creases, smudges, and tiny tears on the other foldlines, and some tiny paper loss at some crossfolds. Obviously, one would prefer to find a better example of this poster, but it is the only one we have ever seen, and it is likely the only one that exists, and after proper linenbacking and restoration, it will look incredible!
