Important Added Info: Note that movie paper from this film is incredibly rare. We have never auctioned even a single movie paper item from this movie until we were consigned this group of six stills! Note that this is one of 10 sets of stills from "all black movies" from the 1930s and 1940s that we were recently consigned, and are currently auctioning in 10 separate auctions. Movie paper of any kind from the first releases of these movies is extremely rare, because these movies only played at the movie theaters that had only black patrons. First release one-sheets are very rare, but so are first release lobby cards and stills. This is a wonderful opportunity to purchase one or many of these sets, some of which may not be seen again for many years! Condition: good to very good. The stills have some light creases and scuffs, and a few edge defects (see our images). The still pictured at upper right has some red ink smudges. Please see our super-sized images to get a good sense of the condition of these stills prior to placing a bid. Learn More about condition grades
