Important Added Info: Note that this is among the very most rare of all Alfred Hitchcock directed titles to find any movie paper from. This movie magazine supplement page IS from the first release of this movie in 1931, and it is "country of origin"! We previously auctioned a different example of this magazine page, and that one sold for $105, and other than that magazine page and a single English still, which sold for $830, we have never auctioned ANYTHING from this movie! Also note that on the back of the page are images from "The Chance of a Night-Time". Also note that in the late 1920s and early 1930s, the top English movie magazines started including "supplements" in the center of the magazine (sometimes they were bound in, and sometimes they were loose). These were like the Sunday newspaper "rotogravure" sections, and were all sepia and had great images from then-current movies. This supplement is from the October 24, 1931 issue of Picture Show. Condition: very good. The trade ad was removed from a magazine. Learn More about condition grades
