If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that Monogram Pictures (which had been a minor studio of the early 1930s, but which closed in 1935) but was re-formed when W. Ray Johnston and Trem Carr left Republic Pictures in 1937, and started up their old studio again. They initially had much success, but the death of Buck Jones in 1942 hurt them a lot, and Trem Carr died of a coronary in 1946 and the Monogram name gradually morphed into Allied Artists (which, despite its name, was very similar to Monogram, cranking out low budget, but often successful, movies). When this 1937 Universal movie was re-released by Realart in 1948, it was initially printed with "A TREM CARR PRODUCTION" on it (Carr had worked there briefly between leaving Republic and re-forming Monogram), but that credit was overprinted with black on all the existing examples of this poster we have seen! What IS linenbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good. The poster had tiny paper loss and some tiny tears and tiny bits of paper loss in the vertical foldline between the top and bottom crossfolds. It had some pinholes and tears around the edges and minor wear on the foldlines. Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to linenbacking. The restorer backed the poster "in the European style", meaning that they did little restoration to the defects described above, but they are really not very distracting (and a talented restorer could touch them up without re-backing the poster).
