If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know.

Important Added Info: Note that this is a hand-colored half-sheet. In the days of silent movies prior to the invention of good quality full-color printing, studios would have posters printed in black and white and then amazingly would hire women to hand-color the posters one at a time (apparently labor was very cheap at the time)! So, each poster is colored slightly differently, and the coloring is never a perfect match. Also note that this half-sheet is very old, and it would not make sense to attempt to roll it, as the paper is fragile enough that rolling it might damage it. Therefore we will send it in a large flat package. Please bear that extra shipping cost in mind BEFORE placing a bid on this poster! Note that the poster is not so fragile that it is "falling to pieces"! If it is handled carefully, it can absolutely be framed and enjoyed without any worry.

Condition: fair to good. There is a jagged tear in the middle of the bottom edge extending into the woman's image at center (repaired with tape from the back). There is some tattering and paper loss around the edges of the poster with a few tape repairs on the back.
