It was surely created in 1932 (on heavy Whatman poster board, and there is a logo for that company on the back; see our images), when this movie was first playing, but was it created for the studio to be reproduced on posters, or was it created by a local theater to be used in place of a poster? We really can't say, and we have not seen this image elsewhere, so we don't really have a good guess. PLEASE DO NOT BID ON THIS UNLESS YOU CAN ACCEPT THE UNCERTAINTY OUTLINED ABOVE. If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Condition: very good. There are smudges and stains in the blank white borders surrounding the art, but the art itself only has a few smudges and scuffs. Learn More about condition grades
