Description

The Man Who Waited (Playgoers Pictures, 1922). Very Good/Fine on Linen. One Sheet (27.25" X 40.75").
This Western directed by Edward Ludwig stars Frank Braidwood, Inez MacDonald, Jay Morley, Jack Pierce, Vonda Phelps, Dan Maines, and Joe Bonner. Though short-lived, Playgoers Pictures reached outside of the commonly-tread path of B-level Westerns, at the time the most popular film genre, and expanded into other forms like drama, mystery, and comedy. Heritage offers for the first time what is likely the only existing copy of a one sheet for The Man Who Waited, which shows Braidwood and MacDonald gleaming during an intimate encounter. Professional restoration has addressed paper loss in parts of the borders by replacing the paper and airbrushing those parts, and touchup was applied to some tears, creases, pinholes, and chips in the interior, though a chip below the credits is slightly lifting from the poster. From the Dwight Manley Collection.
