Note that this was first adapted into a movie in 1916 as "The Yellow Passport", and then again in 1918 as "The Yellow Ticket". In 1919, UFA made an unauthorized version with Pola Negri called "The Devil's Pawn". 12 years later, this first sound version was filmed! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that ANY movie paper items from this movie are incredibly rare. We have only previously auctioned a lobby card (which had a different scene than this one), a few stills, and two glass slides from this movie (and NO other movie paper) until we received this second lobby card! 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: very good. There is a crease in the left of the bottom border that has a tiny tear on the right end in the blank border. Otherwise, the card is in nice condition, with only a few other tiny border defects. Note that this card is completely unrestored and there is not a single piece of tape on either the front or back! Learn More about condition grades
