One Sheet (27" X 41"); Style A
Very Fine+ Folded
Pathe, 1927

The lovely stone litho one sheet offered here is a very rarely seen style spotlighting Prevost in a stylish yellow and red ensemble.

This vibrant and very rare poster has the most minimal fold and edge wear.

Marie Prevost began her film career as one of Mack Sennet's "Bathing Beauties," but moved on to Universal and then Warner Brothers, where her status as a leading lady took off, with essential roles in such Ernst Lubitsch classics as The Marriage Circle (1924), Three Women (1924), and Kiss Me Again (1925). Her career was short-lived, however, as a series of increasingly crushing personal issues, as well as the advent of sound, led to a deep depression, which ended her career entirely by 1936. She passed the following year at the age of 40, a victim of acute alcohol poisoning and malnutrition. This film, however, captures Prevost at the height of her stardom, still a headliner and a famous leading lady.
