If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that first release 1934 movie paper from this Janet Gaynor movie is incredibly rare. We have never auctioned even a single poster from this movie (only lobby cards) until we received this Leader Press one-sheet! Also note that this poster was printed by "Leader Press". In the 1930s, a constant headache for theaters was being sure of having movie posters for their current releases. Often, the posters would travel with the actual film prints, and sometimes the theater before them might have forgotten to include the poster, it might have been defaced or torn, etc. If a theater didn't have posters, it was very frustrating! Several companies began in the 1930s (Leader Press, the "other company", Woolever Press, etc) that made posters of their own for new releases, and they would provide a back up for theaters in case they didn't get a studio issued poster. Often the posters from these companies (with the exception of the "other company") were silk-screen posters, but they were often quite attractive, and virtually always had a completely different design from the regular studio issued poster. It is an absolute fact that posters from these companies are far more rare than the regular studio issued posters. It is also a certainty that these posters were issued when the movies were first released. In fact, they were created PRIOR to the movie's release, so that they could serve as teaser or advance posters (theaters rarely got the studio issued posters before receiving the actual movie). We have located an extremely rare original advertisement for Leader Press posters which clearly states that they were available to theaters a full two weeks prior to each movie's release. Condition: good. The poster is completely separated on the top half of the vertical fold and in part of the left half of the middle horizontal fold. It has many small tears in the left border. However, after a simple linenbacking, the poster will look fantastic! Learn More about condition grades
