Important Added Info: Note that movie paper from this film is incredibly rare. We have never auctioned even a single movie paper item (only a glass slide) from this movie until we were consigned this complete set of lobby cards!

Condition: good to very good. Most have pinholes and tiny brown dot stains around the edges (see our image). One has paper loss at upper right (see our images) and them men fighting has a tear at right center. They are otherwise in pretty nice condition especially given their age.
