Important Added Info: Note that there are two very similar "long" Australian daybills for this movie. The images and text are the same on both, but one has darker coloring, and that one is printed by "Watsford & Longstaff Studios" and has "Printed by Marchant" at the bottom. The other has lighter coloring and only has "Printed Photo Offset by Marchant" at the bottom. An expert we have talked to thinks that the Watsford one was printed when the movie first opened in Australia in 1936, and that the other one was printed soon after, likely because the movie became a big hit and they ran out of the original print run, so they had more printed. This is solely a guess, but it is an expert guess, based on experience with many, many 1930s daybills (plus, they both have to be from before 1940, because they are "long" daybills). If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Condition: good. Learn More about condition grades
