A love tryst to each other made. When the light Pierced - did she remember?"; "A symphony of life and love in the high and low places by Curtis Benton"; a sentimental story of a blind violinist who is used as a decoy by a gang of crooks; but her purity rubs off on them, and they decide to "go straight", but they realize they want to pull one last job so they can get the money for her to have an operation that will let her see again!) starring James Rennie, Sam Hardy, Anders Randolf, Harry Short, and Dorothy Mackaill (in the title role as Rose Duncan). Note that this is a "lost" film, which means that no surviving copies are thought to exist. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: fair. The poster had two areas of paper loss in the top quarter of the vertical fold and paper loss at the bottom crossfold, but fortunately almost completely in the background area. It had many tears and paper loss around the edges. Unfortunately, someone mended the poster by putting wide tape on the back of many of the areas described above, and the tape not only bled through to the front, but also created brown stains on the front of the poster on the areas where the tape was. There are also small scattered brown stains throughout the bottom white background areas. Overall, the poster was in fair condition prior to linenbacking. Someone mounted the poster to linen exactly as it was, with no restoration (to be fair to that person, the poster likely acquired the brown dot stains after it was backed, since they are also in parts of the excess linen). In spite of its many defects, the poster can be displayed and enjoyed as it is, and certainly, one could have it re-backed, but please bear all this in mind before bidding on this poster.
