Walthall, Irene Rich, Dot Farley, Lawrence Licalzi (in the starring role as the nine year old son of the banker), and Eugene Jackson. This movie included black African American Eugene Jackson in one of his very first uncredited roles; soon after this movie, he was hired by Hal Roach, to become one of the Our Gang members, and he played "Pineapple" (Farina's older brother) in six of the Our Gang shorts. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Condition: very good. This poster was linenbacked, and one of the following is true: either the poster had very minor defects, and was well backed, OR it had more significant defects, but they were well restored, OR it had some minor defects that were not completely restored, and are somewhat noticeable. You can tell which of the above is the case for this particular poster by reading our "pre-restoration" description and also by looking at our "super-sized" image of the actual poster (we are the only major auction company we know of that gives accurate detailed pre-restoration information about linenbacked posters to our bidders, but we wish everyone did!). The poster had many tears, creases, and areas of paper loss around the edges and in the blank borders. The image area had a large semi-circular area of paper loss in the woman's collar. There were two long vertical tears running down the right side of the image. The person who restored the poster did a nice job replacing the missing area in the woman's collar, and also did a nice job on the restoration of the entire poster, but you can still see some signs of the restoration from a distance away.
