Important Added Info: Note that everything about this makes us think it would be from the first Spanish release in 1937 (the old style United Artists logo, the "London Films", the cool art), and we have previously auctioned two heralds like this as being from 1937. However, because this herald is the same as one we had that had a 1948 date on it, either this herald is from a 1948 re-release, or somehow they reused 11 year old heralds, which seems unlikely. So we are making it as a 1948 re-release. If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Also note that when Spanish heralds have printing on the back, we picture both sides, but when they are blank on the back, we only picture the front. Condition: fair. There is water staining scattered throughout half of the program. Learn More about condition grades
