This is a remake of a 1915 movie of the same name starring Fannie Ward and Sessue Hayakawa. Note that this is a "lost" film which means that no surviving copies are thought to exist. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Artist: John Richardson Important Added Info: Note that we have never before auctioned this Australian daybill! Also note that Pola Negri had previously appeared in very depressing melodramas, and so when this movie played in Australia, it was given the tagline "Her first happy-ending picture."! Note that this is one of an amazing collection of 62 linenbacked Australian daybills that all have great art from Richardson Studio (or John Richardson, before he became "Richardson Studio"!), which many collectors feel have the best art and design of any Australian daybills, and are highly sought after by collectors. These were accumulated by a very dedicated collector over many years, and they are now being all offered at once (in 62 separate auctions), so this is a wonderful opportunity to obtain one or many of these daybills, many of which rarely are offered for sale or at auction.

The poster had small tears and paper loss around the edges, with a few areas of paper loss scattered throughout the image, where there were also creases and tears. Overall, the poster was in fair condition prior to linenbacking. The restorer backed the poster "in the European style", meaning that they did not do restoration to the defects described above.
