Francis. Note that Joseph Schildkraut had just played a riverboat gambler in the hugely successful "Show Boat" (the 1929 version), and so he was rushed into this movie, to capitalize on his success from that movie. Also note that this movie was filmed in both sound and silent versions, and the sound version exists, but the transcription discs (containing the sound) have sadly been lost. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Condition: very good. There are pinholes and some faint stains around the edges. Otherwise, the card is in pretty nice condition. Note that this lobby card is completely unrestored and there is not a single piece of tape on either the front or back! Learn More about condition grades
