The Phantom of the West (Mascot , 1931). One
<B>The Phantom of the West (Mascot, 1931).</B></I> One Sheet (27" X 41"). Chapter 8 -- "The House of Hate." This was Mascot Pictures' second all-talkie, sound serial, featuring Western star Tom Tyler. Born Vincent Markowski, Tyler worked as a sailor, boxer, lumberjack, and coal miner before entering films as a stuntman in 1924. His good looks and acting ability quickly led him to stardom at FBO studios, the forerunner to RKO Studios. Tyler worked with many of the independents such as Mascot in the early thirties, before doing serial work in the forties. This gorgeous stone litho one sheet had some chipping in the border, more significantly in the lower right corner. There was some cross fold chipping and some small tears within the center horizontal fold. There was a 6 inch tear in the upper horizontal fold. These problems were all addressed with professional restoration and the poster now displays beautifully. Fine on Linen. ****<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Flat Material, Small (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
