An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked One-Sheet Movie Poster (measures 27" x 41") (Learn More) Varsity Show, the 1937 William Keighley all-star musical ("Rah Rah"; "From an Original Story by Warren Duff and Sig Herzig"; "Music and Lyrics by Dick Whiting & Johnny Mercer"; with a "Finale Created and Directed by Busby Berkeley"; ) starring Dick Powell, Fred Waring ("AND His Pennsylvanians"), Ted Healy (most famous as the person who started The Three Stooges; they were first billed as "Ted Healy and his Stooges"; he let them go on their own, hiring replacement "Stooges", but that did not work out well at all!), Priscilla Lane, Rosemary Lane, Walter Catlett, Johnny Davis (who was known as "Johnny Hot-Note Davis", because of his trumpet playing), Buck and Bubbles (Ford Washington Lee and John William Sublett), Poley 'Frog-Voice' McClintock, George 'Spanky' McFarland, and Sterling Holloway NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Condition: very good. This poster was linenbacked, and it had defects which were repaired during the linenbacking process (which we describe below, as well as the quality of the restoration, if I thought there was something about the restoration worth commenting on!). You should also look at our "super-sized" image of the actual poster (we are the only major auction company we know of that gives accurate detailed pre-restoration information about linenbacked posters to our bidders, but we wish everyone did!). the poster had small holes at the crossfolds and creases and tiny tears down the vertical foldline; there were extra creases along the horizontal foldlines; there were many pinholes around the edges of the poster; the person who backed the poster pretty much just backed it as is, without performing hardly any restoration, but the defects described above are not very distracting.
