Genuine Antique Movie Poster Card 1936 King of Burlesque Alice Faye Fats Waller

Description

Genuine Antique Movie Poster Window Card 1936 King of Burlesque Alice Faye Fats Waller by 20th Century Fox. Measures 11" x 14" and is on card stock so perhaps this is technically a lobby card. Top part has been trimmed as this was being used as the backing to an old picture frame but most if present, the top has 1 small tear, otherwise fine - see my 9 detailed photos. I guarantee this is a genuine original lithograph ©1935 for the 1936 release. I was told this should measure 22" x 14" so it is about half the original poster but still displays nice. Great illustrations.
King of Burlesque is a 1936 musical film about a former burlesque producer played by Warner Baxter who moves into a legitimate theatre and does very well, until he marries a socialite. Sammy Lee received an Academy Award nomination for the now dead category of Best Dance Direction at the 8th Academy Awards. Today the film is best known for Fats Waller's rendition of "I've Got My Fingers Crossed".
