O'Connor cocaine anti-drug propaganda thriller ("Keep this wolf from your door!"; "Destroyer of souls!"; "Senses drowned in forbidden pleasures"; "Adults Only!"; "Hollywood's newest smash hit - that has - Everything!"; "A Daring expose of jazz mad youth!"; "Tonight in heaven tomorrow in hell!"; "Astounding revelations of unguarded youth"; a really rabidly anti-drug "message" movie, with a gangster who goes around hooking people on cocaine, by having them snort what they think is a "headache remedy", and only after they are hopelessly hooked do they discover it was actually cocaine, and start on a one-way path to degradation and death!; in this movie, it is two teens who follow this path, a brother and sister, and they both become drug addicts, and the sister becomes a prostitute!) starring Lois January, Noel Madison, Dean Benton, Sheila Bromley (billed as "Sheila Manners"), and Frank Shannon. Note that this movie was a remake of the 1928 movie of the same name. There were "roadshow" releases in the late 1930s or early 1940s, with lured artwork posters, but not much image. In the 1960s, this movie was re-released under the title of "The Cocaine Fiends", and was often shown at midnight showings with the other 1930s drug classic "Reefer Madness"! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that we have never before auctioned this window card! We have seen reproduction posters with this image, but we believe this to surely be an original poster, but it is uncertain whether it is from the 1930s or possibly the 1940s. Apparently, the Cane Theatre was in Natchitoches, Louisiana, and it operated from the mid 1930s to the early 1970s, so it definitely fits that this movie would have played there.
