Luke's Washful Waiting (Pathe Exchange Inc.,
<B>Luke's Washful Waiting (Pathe', 1916).</B></I> One Sheet (27" X 41"). Hal Roach met Lloyd in 1913 at the Edison Company in San Diego, and when he inherited enough money to begin a small production studio (Phun Philms, soon renamed Rolin), he contacted Lloyd to star in the kind of films he really wanted to make: comedies. With a handful of self-produced shorts starring Lloyd, he landed a contract with Pathe, who literally paid Roach by the exposed foot of film! This extremely rare one sheet is from a series Roach directed with Lloyd called the "Lonesome Luke Comedies." An admitted imitation of Chaplin's "Little Tramp" character, Lloyd would abandon this series only a year after this film. This poster displays older restoration with chips, a missing slice in the lower right border, cracking paint, and a replaced bottom border. However, it's still a very attractive poster from the earliest days of the cinema, and nearly 100 years old! Good+ on Linen. <BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Rolled Material (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
