If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this window card was made for a specific local theater (the "Strand" in Dover, Delaware). Often larger theaters would hire local artists to create their own "local theater window cards" like this one. They would often feature artwork that appeared on no other posters, and they were NOT issued by the studio that released the movie. Note that this poster closely resembles the San Francisco "trolley cards" of the same time period, and it seems quite possible like the same artist that did those did this one (or perhaps even the same art was used for both). Condition: fair. There are areas of paper loss, nail holes, and stains around the edges of the poster, and some smudges and scuffs scattered throughout. It appears that it is possible that the card was slightly trimmed, but we don't know, because we don't know of a reference of a larger one (if it was trimmed, only blank white borders were affected).
