Now we are auctioning a different scene card. All three came from the same consignor, and other than these three cards, we have never auctioned any others, and we might never auction another, because cards from this movie are extremely rare. Note that the film distributor "Astor Pictures" primarily distributed re-releases of major studios in the late 1930s through the 1950s, but they WERE the first U.S. distributor on a few non-U.S., including this one. This is the from the first U.S. release of this movie, and it NOT a re-release!

There are smudges, darkening, and pinholes around the edges, and some smudges and scuffs scattered throughout the image.
