Reeves Eason (billed as "Breezy Eason") adventure serial ("A Mascot Master Serial in 12 Rip-Roaring Chapters"; "The greatest stunt all talking serial ever made"; written by Ford Beebe) starring Harold 'Red' Grange (the famous real-life football sports star; "The Galloping Ghost" was his real-life nickname!), Dorothy Gulliver, Walter Miller, Tom Dugan, Gwen Lee, Francis X.

Important Added Info: Note that examples of this poster have been mistakenly sold as original 1931 releases. Mascot Pictures owner Nat Levine re-released most of his early 1930s serials in the late 1930s, and he used the same plates, which is the cause of the confusion. But the re-releases are two-color, while the originals (which are extremely scarce and are virtually never offered for sale) are full-color. Condition: very good. This poster was linenbacked, and one of the following is true: either the poster had very minor defects, and was well backed, OR it had more significant defects, but they were well restored, OR it had some minor defects that were not completely restored, and are somewhat noticeable. You can tell which of the above is the case for this particular poster by reading our "pre-restoration" description and also by looking 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 pinholes at the top two crossfolds; There were pinholes in the corners. Other than the above minor defects, the poster was in quite nice condition prior to linenbacking. It was well backed and looks great! Learn More about condition grades
