An Original Vintage Theatrical Window Card Movie Poster (WC; measures 14" x 22" [36 x 56 cm]) (Learn More) Rex Beach's The Spoilers, the 1930 Edward Carewe Alaska gold mining romantic melodrama ("Rex Beach's immortal story"; "You've never seen this picture before!"; "Strong Men - in their grim struggle! Women- of one kind or another! Love-hate-conflict in a land where a weakling didn't belong!"; "Greatest of Yukon romances!"; based on the novel "by Rex Beach"; about three men who have a gold mine in Alaska, but local crooks who run the town try to legally steal it away from them) starring Gary Cooper, Kay Johnson, Betty Compson, William 'Stage' Boyd, Harry Green, Slim Summerville, Oscar Apfel, and William Farnum (in a bit part as a fight spectator; he played the original hero in the 1914 version of this movie!). Note that there were two silent movies based on this same Rex Beach novel (in 1914 and 1923), and two later sound versions (in 1942 and 1956). NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that we have never before previously auctioned this poster! Not only that, but we have only auctioned an all-text one-sheet in the last 25 years (in 1993, we auctioned a full-color one-sheet). First release posters from this movie are incredibly rare. Condition: good. Prior to gel backing, the window card had light staining scattered throughout, more so in the background and border areas. It also had some small tears around the edges and a crease in the lower left of the image. Overall, the card was in fair condition prior to restoration. A talented restorer gel backed the card (meaning they backed the card onto a gel material) and they then performed restoration to the above defects, and then removed the gel backing, so that the card still exactly looks and feels like an original card (and it is!), with no backing at all. However, the restorer left alone most of the light stains, because dealing with them would have required repainting the entire card, and the card also acquired a 1/4" tear in the left blank border after it was gel backed (see our image).
