An Original Vintage Theatrical Trade-Ad (measures 9 1/4" x 12 1/4" [23 x 31 cm]; 2 pages) (Learn More) The Black Coin, the 1936 Albert Herman crime action adventure serial ("15 Episodes of Tingling Thrills!"; about Federal agents and smugglers traveling the world, including tropical islands, by airplane and boat in search of lost secret papers) starring Ralph Graves, Ruth Mix (daughter of Tom Mix, who appeared in around a dozen movies, starting as a teenager), Dave O'Brien, Matthew Betz, Clara Kimball Young, Robert Frazer, Bryant Washburn, William Desmond, Joseph Swickard, Pete de Grasse, Robert Walker (billed as "Bob Walker"), and Blackie Whiteford. Note that the Robert Walker credited above was NOT the Robert Walker who starred in the 1940s and 1950s, but a different Robert Walker who started making movies in 1913, and he appeared in an amazing 255 movies through 1953, a 40 year span, but most of those were westerns, and a lot of them were very minor roles, often uncredited. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: From the 1920s on, studios would create elaborate trade ads, often in full color, and often using the finest artists of the day. They would run these ads in their studio yearbooks and exhibitor magazines, and they would also print those trade ads separately and mail them individually to theater owners, trying to get them to book that specific movie. Sometimes those books and magazines are separated and the ads, which now greatly resemble the individually printed trade ads, are sold individually. The trade ad offered here was removed from a yearbook or magazine. It can be framed and displayed (but many trade ads have different images on each side, so one must choose which side to display if it is framed!). Condition: very good. The writing is slightly cut off the top, but we don't think the ad was trimmed, just that it was printed this way. Learn More about condition grades
