Description

Hit of the Show (FBO, 1928). Fine- on Linen. Australian Pre-War Daybill (15" X 39.75").
Hit of the Show is perhaps most notable as Joe E. Brown's second film and first with talking sequences. From Photoplay: "This might easily be called The Journal of a Disappointed Man. It spills enough grief to tie the old heartstrings into hard knots. Joe E . Brown gives an almost too clear characterization of a hick trouper with big-time ideas, four months back rent, a big heart and a funny face. Broadway's always just around the corner, but when he gets the big break, the shock's too much." With how obscure this film is, paper is understandably extremely rare; this Australian daybill is the first poster of any kind we have ever offered for this film. The top panel has been airbrushed, touchup applied to the folds, small tears and chips have been repaired, and a corner replaced.
