Description

Alice Brady Stock (Select, 1918). One Sheet (27" X 41"). Alice Brady was an excellent actress, appearing in 33 Broadway shows from 1911-1933, including the first production of Eugene O'Neill's "Mourning Becomes Electra." With Select Pictures from 1918-1919, she would appear in many romantic leads as evidenced by this stone lithograph beauty of a poster done by the venerable Morgan Litho Corp. Brady won a Best Supporting Actress Oscar in 1937 for "In Old Chicago," but was unable to accept the award personally. A man walked up, accepted for her, and neither he nor the Oscar have been seen since! Later in her career, Brady endeared herself to her audience with her prolific portrayals of addlebrained society matrons and world-weary matriarchs ("My Man Godfrey," "Three Smart Girls." etc). There are small chips in the upper horizontal fold line, a small chip in the bottom fold, and a chip in the lower left field. There is edge wear to the top center border, mild wrinkles in the edges, and a small tear in the hat. Very Fine- on Linen.
