Note that years later, Darryl F. Zanuck would become one of the foremost proponents of racial tolerance in Hollywood, with movies like "Gentleman's Agreement" and "Pinky", and it is hard to believe that wrote this extremely racist movie!

Important Added Info: Note that we have provided an image of four of the pages of this 8-page program (we did this by opening it and laying it flat and photographing the front and back cover together, and two of the interior pages together). You can see the four of the eight pages, and can well determine the exact condition of it from our super-sized image, but realize that there are four pages you are not seeing. But of course this means that the front cover appears in the top right of our image, but normally, the program would be folded down the center and you would view the cover by itself (and it will be sent folded as was originally intended). Condition: very good. Learn More about condition grades
