Important Added Info: Note that Tiffany productions, which produced this movie, were expecting it to be a major hit, and so they created a wonderful lobby set, with eight artwork lobby cards, each a beautiful full painting, something none of the other studios did, except for William Fox, who did it on his top productions of the 1920s. The cards from this movie are one of those movies with full artwork lobby cards, printed on a textured paper, and they really are spectacular! Condition: good. There is a stain on the man's foot at center, with some faint stains in his leg. There is a pinhole in the center of the top border and one in the left of the bottom border, with tiny pinholes in the corners. Note that this lobby card is completely unrestored and there is not a single piece of tape on either the front or back! Learn More about condition grades
