An Undated (probably 1930s) Re-release Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked Half-Sheet Movie Poster (measures 22" x 28") (Learn More) Hell's House, the 1932 Paul Gangelin & B. Harrison Orkow bad teens reform school bootlegging crime melodrama ("A human symphony for all ages!"; about a teenage boy who is orphaned and idolizes a bootlegger, and he goes to work for him, and takes the blame for him when something goes wrong, and he is sent to reform school!) starring Pat O'Brien, Junior Durkin, Frank Coghlan Jr., Emma Dunn, and Bette Davis (very young in this role!). Note that this movie came out before Bette Davis was a star, and she plays the minor role of the bootlegger's girlfriend, and is not billed or pictured on the original posters, and rightfully so. But soon after the movie's release, she became a star, there was a very deceptive re-release of this movie, on which she was the top star! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Condition: good to very good. The poster had water stains across the top border (slightly extending into the edge of the background) and creases and smudges across both foldlines. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. The restorer linenbacked the poster "in the European style", meaning that they did not do restoration to the tiny defects, but they are really not at all distracting (and any restorer could easily touch them up without re-backing the poster). At some point after backing, the linen itself was folded down the middle, but this is no great loss, because the poster should be properly re-backed, as the original backing included no restoration.
