Folded re-release one-sheet of 1953 for CHU CHIN CHOW (1932) directed by Walter Forde and starring Anna May Wong, Fritz Kortner and George Robey. Wonderful image of Anna May Wong. The film was rereleased by the small, independent Lippert Films in 1953 as ALI BABA NIGHTS. The poster is in very fine condition, folded, with some very minor edge-wear. Colors are vivid.

Original Paramount Pictures One Sheet Poster (27×41) for the William Wellman crime drama, CHINATOWN NIGHTS (1929) starring Wallace Berry, Florence Vidor, and Warner Oland about the “Tong Wars” in San Francisco in the 1920s. This film began as a silent picture, but production stopped to adapt it to sound. Dialogue was written in four days and filming resumed. This major change from the silent era to “talkies” ended many acting careers, including Vidor who abruptly left filmmaking after shooting her scenes in this film. She did not return to dub in her voice; rather, Nella Walker dubbed Vidor’s lines. This very rare style B one sheet poster is in very fine condition with modest paper repair and touch-up at fold lines. Atmospheric and beautiful, this poster is representative of the great “look” of Paramount posters from this era. Notice the absence of any border. This is characteristic of Paramount posters from several years during this period.
