Such a fun find! Estate purchase of
closed up old theater. Several unique original movie
publicity posters with War time sentiments.
This one is for the 1940's film THE HUMAN COMEDY. Caricature
of the actor Mickey Rooney on one side.
The other shows a letter to the Exhibitor, Movie theater
from MGM.
Reading it, makes me think this is a sad and important movie
for the era. One I haven't seen yet but now may have to.
Release date -- March 2, 1943
Starring: Mickey Rooney, Frank Morgan
Based on novel by William Saroyan
Directed by Clarence Brown
The film is the story of a teenaged Homer Macauley in high
school, working part-time as a telegram delivery boy, in the
fictional town of Ithaca, California, during World War II.
The effects of the war on the "Home Front" over a year in
Homer's life are depicted in a series of perceptive
vignettes—some amusing, some grave, some ugly, some
touching, some sentimental—involving himself,
his family, friends and neighbors in his California
hometown, and his brother Marcus, a Private in the U.S.
Army. The storyline is introduced and directed by a
narrator, Homer's father, who has been dead for two years.
Approx. measurements: 9.25 x 12.25 inches
About the artist Jacques Kapralik (Oct. 29, 1906, Bucharest,
Romania ‑ Nov. 28, 1960, Los Angeles) was a Romanian
American caricaturist.
He is best remembered for his work with MGM in the 1940s
when he created film star art and movie posters.
This is in very good condition. Shows some mild bumped
corners. The upper right corner is crease at the tip.
Excellent for the Movie buff or fan of the Actors.
