The Covered Wagon (Paramount, 1923). One Sheet
<B>The Covered Wagon (Paramount, 1923).</B></I> One Sheet (27" X 41") Style A. This was one of the first of the great epic Westerns produced during the silent era. It reportedly had a cast of 3,000 which included 1,000 Indians brought from reservations by a young Col. Tim McCoy. Paramount went all out in the promotion of this film. Offered here is the "A" Style sheet which pictures the love triangle in the film: the heroine, Molly Wingate (Lois Wilson), the wagon master she falls in love with, Banion (J. Warren Kerrigan), and her sadistic fiance, Woodhull (Alan Hale). This poster was creased on the typical three horizontal fold lines, however, on the right half there seems to be diagonally creasing only. There isn't a vertical fold line. There was a chip out of the middle of the right border. These imperfections have been professionally restored so that the poster appears near mint. Fine/Very Fine on Linen. <BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Rolled Material (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
