Note that Boris Karloff had a very minor role in this movie (as Imam Mowaffak), and we don't think he appears on any advertising, although he could possibly appear on a still or lobby card! Also, 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. Important Added Info: Note that we have only previously auctioned one lobby card from this movie, and that was 8 years ago. That card has now been reconsigned to us, so this is still the only lobby card we have auctioned from this movie! Also note that we have a scan of both the front and the back of this lobby card, which should greatly help you see what defects it has. Condition: good. The bottom left corner was completely detached and someone reattached it with tape from the back. There is paper loss in each blank corner and a tape stain in the middle of the left border. There is a scratch in the lower left of the image and a 1 1/2" tear in the right of the top border. Learn More about condition grades
