An Undated (probably 1920s) Re-release Vintage Theatrical Folded French Large Movie Poster (31x47; measures 31 1/2" x 47 1/4" [80 x 120 cm]) (Learn More) The Americano, the 1916 John Emerson silent romantic adventure comedy ("The fight for the overthrow of the new 'Government' is on..."; "The story of a breezy American mining engineer who gets mixed up in a Central American revolution"; "The story of a breezy American mining-engineer who stops a Central American revolution and becomes Commander-in-Chief of the Armies of Paragonia"; "Supervised by D.W. Griffith"; based on the book Blaze Derringer by Eugene P. Lyle Jr.) starring Douglas Fairbanks Sr., Alma Rubens, Spottiswoode Aitken, Carl Stockdale, Tote Du Crow, "and a notable cast". Note that this movie was released by Triangle in 1916, and there were Triangle movie posters made in 1916. There were also movie posters from "S.A. Lynch Enterprises, Inc.". It is possible that this movie distributed the movie on a states rights basis on its first run in 1916, or it could be from a re-release soon after. In any event, the S.A. Lynch posters are not from the very first release of the movie, because states rights releases occurred after the initial release (which was solely in major cities). If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Artist: Rene Peron Important Added Info: Note that the poster says "PATHE-RURAL" at the top. in the 1920s through the 1940s, movies in France were given one release in the major cities and another release in rural areas, and different posters were prepared for the separate releases. This poster is from the "rural" release of this movie. However, it is not from the first release of this movie in 1916. The movie "Mother's Joy", a 1923 movie starring Stan Laurel, is advertised at lower left, so we know it is from at least that date. It seems that it would surely date from before 1927, because we doubt they would be releasing 1916 silent movies after that time, and of course, Laurel became famous with Oliver Hardy after that time as well. If anyone knows more about this poster, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Condition: good. There is paper loss in the middle of the left foldline and in the left of the bottom blank border (see our image). Learn More about condition grades
