Important Added Info: Note that ANY first release movie paper from this movie is incredibly rare. We have only previously auctioned an English program book and an 8x10 lobby card, and NO other movie paper items from this movie. That 8x10 lobby card has now been reconsigned to us, so this is still only one of two movie paper items from this movie we have ever auctioned! Also note that, in the early days of movie making, when lobby cards were first made (around 1915), studios would issue sets of the cards in two sizes; the regular 11" x 14" size, and a smaller 8" x 10" size. The cards were identical in every way except for the different size. This practice continued through the early 1920s, at which point the studios abandoned the smaller lobby cards, likely because theaters either ordered 11" x 14" lobby cards or 8" x 10" stills, and did not order enough of the 8" x 10" lobby cards to justify them continuing to make them. Condition: very good. There is a tack hole in each corner and tiny paper loss in the top right blank corner, where the tack was roughly removed. There are a few faint scuffs scattered in the image.
