An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27 3/4" x 41" [70 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) Sunset Carson (born Winifred Maurice Harrison, which would certainly explain the name change!) was an actor of the 1940s, best remembered for his B-western films. Some of his movies include: Bells of Rosarita, Stage Door Canteen, and Janie. He came out of retirement in the late 1970s to do two more films. He passed away in 1990 at the age of 69. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this poster was printed by an unknown local theater printer. A constant headache for theaters was being sure of having movie posters for their current releases. Often, the posters would travel with the actual film prints, and sometimes the theater before them might have forgotten to include the poster, it might have been defaced or torn, etc. If a theater didn't have posters, it was very frustrating! Several companies began in the 1930s (Leader Press, the "other company" [Associated Displays Corporation], Woolever Press, etc) that made posters of their own for new releases, and they would provide a back up for theaters in case they didn't get a studio issued poster. Often the posters from these companies (with the exception of the "other company") were silk-screen posters, but they were often quite attractive, and virtually always had a completely different design from the regular studio issued poster. It is an absolute fact that posters from these companies are far more rare than the regular studio issued posters. It is also a certainty that these posters were issued when the movies were first released. In fact, they were created PRIOR to the movie's release, so that they could serve as teaser or advance posters (theaters rarely got the studio issued posters before receiving the actual movie). We have located an extremely rare original advertisement for Leader Press posters which clearly states that they were available to theaters a full two weeks prior to each movie's release. Sometimes these alternative printing posters have images that are the equal of those from the regular studio release posters. Condition: good to very good. There is some separation and paper loss in a few portions of the folds. Learn More about condition grades
