An Original Vintage Theatrical Unfolded Insert Movie Poster (measures 14" x 36" [36 x 91 cm]) (Learn More) His Secretary, the 1925 Hobart Henly silent romantic office comedy ("Story by Carey Wilson"; the age old story of a man with a plain-looking secretary who is in love with him, but he doesn't notice her; she goes off and gets a complete makeover, and when she returns, he wants her, but she pretends that she is married to janitor Karl Dane!) starring Norma Shearer, Lew Cody, Willard Louis, Karl Dane, and Gwen Lee 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 is from a remarkable group of mid-1920s inserts that has just been discovered! There are twelve of them, and we are auctioning them this week in twelve separate auctions, at the start of our listings. While the poster has never been folded, it is 85 years old, so we would not want to attempt to roll it, so it will be sent in a large flat package. This will cost more than our standard size packages, so for this poster, and the other eleven inserts we are auctioning this week, the buyer will need to pay the actual cost of shipping for this poster (and of course, if this poster is purchased with other inserts, they can all be sent together in a single flat package). Condition: good. The poster was never folded and is somewhat fragile around the edges. It has smudges, stains, and some small paper loss down the left edge of the poster, somewhat extending into the left side of the image, more so in the top left corner, where it goes over Shearer's jacket and part of the credits. There are some tears and tiny areas of paper loss in the other blank borders. The poster could be paperbacked by a talented restorer, and it might well require surprisingly little paint restoration in the image, because most of the restoration would be removing the dirt stains, which mostly could be done through chemical means (but some degree of the staining would likely not come out, and then a talented restorer could do touch up to the cleaned poster).
