Does anybody know anything about these? There are links below to 45 posters we got in from 1917 to the early 1920's. All are not in the best of shape. They are about half sheet size, but are now smaller as they were trimmed. Half sheets? jumbo lobby's? value? Thanks in advance

They are half-sheets. In the early days they basically WERE like half-sheet sized lobby cards, and it wasn't until the early 1920s, for the most part, that the studios added ANY art to them.. To a historian like myself they are cool, but they are super-fragile, and a real pain to photograph,

Yes, very nice. Interesting seeing Mabel Nourmand and Mary Miles Minter in there. Just been reading about the murder of director William Desmond Taylor a few days ago. Recommended to those not familiar with it, if you have a taste for silent era Hollywood homicide. Cheers, Rich

the whole murder and mystery surrounding Taylor's death is great reading. a book, written back in 1986, entitled 'A CAST OF KILLERS' by Sidney Kirkpatrick gives a terrific narrative of this event. jeff On Nov 17, 2008, at 6:41 PM, Richard Evans wrote: Yes, very nice. Interesting seeing

Yes, a great story. If anyone is interested in early Hollywood scandal, then THE DAY THE LAUGHTER STOPPED by David Yallop is hard to beat. It covers the Fatty Arbuckle case in enormously well-researched detail and tells one of the true tragic tales of Hollwyood (or more rightly, San
