An exceptional hand-painted Jazz Age Art Deco lobby poster for the pre-code 1931 MGM comedy film, "The Bachelor Father," directed by Robert Z. Leonard, and screenplay by Edward Childs Carpenter, & Laurence E. Johnson, based on the 1928 Broadway play. Set against the backdrop of a plot featuring an aging Sir Basil Algernon Winterton played by C. Aubrey Smith in both Broadway Play and film, who is urged to reacquaint himself with his three illegitimate children from three different liaisons in his youth. Marion Davies stars as Antoinette "Tony" Flagg initially believes she is one of the lost daughters, but discovers the original daughter had died, and chooses to leave England, only to crash in her friends plane, and survive to reunite and marry Sir Basil's assistant John Ashley. Many of the plot lines and dialogue could not have been produced after the imposition of the 1934 Motion Picture Production Code, including several casual references to Sir Basil's affairs, casual approach to his bastard children, and even keeping a ledger of all his lover's names and dates of the affairs. Graeper (1875-1970) had taken over the management and ownership of the Union Ave. Theater at 539 Union Ave. in Portland before 1914, expanded its seating capacity in 1916-17 just prior to the US entrance into World War I. The Egyptian Theater was opened in 1924, adorned with exotic decorations such as Egyptian revival pillars, pyramids, and ornamental urns, with lotus flower motifs. The architect was Edward A. Miller, and featured 866 seats on the main floor and 344 in the balcony, closing after 1963 to become a warehouse. The musical accompaniment for the silent films and Vaudeville acts in the Egyptican were from a Wurlitzer Style F (opus #855) pipe organ shipped by the Wurlitzer factory in July, 1924, later moved to the Scottish Rite Temple in 1936.
