There is no other way."; "A cast of Broadway stars"; "Sex-crazed youth blazing a reckless path to hell!"; "Save her from a life of sin"; "The facts about the facts of life"; "The picture that calls a spade a spade"; about a girl who comes home from college and meets a guy who takes her on a date, and smashes the car, and they spend the night in a motel, and she ends up sleeping with him, but after they get back home, he dumps her and takes up with her best friend, but then she learns she is pregnant, and has nowhere to turn) starring Herbert Rawlinson, Miriam Battista, Beth Barton, Charles Eaton, and Claire Whitney. Note that this movie was made by the Weiss Brothers in 1934 and was then shown throughout the country under the states rights system. Apparently, they wanted to give the movie a pretense of being a major production, and so they hired silent actor Herbert Rawlinson to appear in it, and he was given top billing, and they noted that the movie had "a cast of Broadway stars". The only poster we have ever seen from it is a 40x60, which does not have Weiss Brothers on it, so it may not date from 1934, but it surely dates from the 1930s.

Condition: fair. The poster is in much lesser condition. There are several defects scattered along the edges and foldlines/crossfolds and there are several significant areas of foldline and/or crossfold separation. MANY of the defects have been repaired with MANY pieces of tape from the back that may bleed through to the front. There are MANY creases scattered throughout the poster and there are some other defects that can be clearly seen in our super-sized image. The poster is in need of restoration. Certainly a top restorer can repair the defects described above, and after, the poster will display really well, but please bear in mind the poster's many defects and the cost of restoration before placing a bid.
