[Movie Poster] FBO Picture Corporation Presents Another Wow from H.C. Witwer Those Two Rascals Al Cooke and Kit Guard in Helene of Troy, N.Y. One of the "Beauty Parlor" Series

New York: F.B.O. Production, Inc. Printer: The Otis Lithograph Co, 1927. Very Good Minus. Fun and colorful movie poster for slapstick forgotten and believed lost movie short. The fifth in a series, the two reeler also starred Lorraine Eason and Thelma Hill. Al Cooke and Kit Guard were a popular comedy team in Silent Pictures, but Cooke died in 1935 and Guard continued acting into the 1950s but never achieved the success enjoyed briefly in Silents. We could find no other copies of this poster. 104 by 68 cm. Unlined, with a fair amount of soiling evident in the margins, and some closed tearing, tearing along folds, and some tape repairs on the back. Still a visually exciting poster, as well as a valuable document of a lost movie.
