Date Sold 3/3/2019 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) The Changing of the Guard, the 1936 Bobby Connolly England musical comedy short ("A Vitaphone Broadway Brevities"; "Story and Screenplay by Sig Hersig"; about a little girl whose grandfather tells her a bedtime story about him being in the military, and she goes to sleep and dreams that she is a soldier at the English "Changing of the Guard" outside Buckingham Palace) starring Sybil Jason (forgotten but once famous child star), Halliwell Hobbes, Sidney Bracey, Kirby Grant, and Gordon Hart. Note that Sybil Jason was born in South Africa, but was a singing and dancing child prodigy in England from the age of 2. When she was 6, Jack Warner saw her perform, and signed her to a contract hoping she could be a child star for Warner Bros. to equal Shirley Temple at 20th Century-Fox. However, after a few movies, including starring opposite Al Jolson in "The Singing Kid", she did not deliver the hoped for results, and Warner Bros. did not renew her contract in 1938. Daryl Zanuck signed her at 20th Century-Fox, putting her with Shirley Temple in "The Little Princess". She was supposed to have a major role in "The Blue Bird", opposite Shirley Temple, but most of her scenes were cut from the movie (perhaps because it was feared she would "upstage" Shirley Temple, who was "getting old"!), and she "retired". In 1947, at the age of 18, she married a Navy man, and they had a child and were married for 58 years until his passing in 2006, and she passed away in 2011 at the age of 83!

Important Added Info: Note that we have only once before auctioned this one-sheet, and that was 20 years ago, when it sold for $295! What IS linenbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: poor. Because of the poster's major defects, it is difficult to know if they occurred before or after being backed, so we will only give a post-restoration condition. At some point, the poster was backed onto linen with no excess, and it acquired major water staining in the top half, which not only has caused that part of the poster to be very creased and rippled, but it also likely caused tears and paper loss throughout that area, including in the upper center of the girl's face and in the face of the guard at upper left. While this very rare poster could be rescued, it would cost a great deal and require much restoration, so please do not bid on this poster unless you can accept the huge challenges that it presents.
