If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know.
Important Added Info: Note that this movie was released at the time when studios were rapidly making the transition to sound, and Paramount released both sound and silent versions of their top releases. For each of those movies, they issued a set of posters for the sound release (marked "SOUND" at the bottom left), and an entirely different set of posters for the silent release (marked "SILENT" at bottom left). The poster offered here is from the silent release of this movie.

Condition: very good. The poster had tiny paper loss at the crossfolds and some fine separation on parts of some foldlines, with the most minor of border wear. Overall, the poster was in to fine condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was nicely backed, and displays well. Note that the restorer left a tiny bit of excess linen around all four sides of the poster (they left a small border in order to protect the poster from handling damage, but they did not leave a larger border to allow it to more easily fit in a frame). Also note that at some point after linenbacking, the poster was roughly handled and there is now a single faint crease in the upper left border of the poster (in both the excess linen and the poster). It is not very noticeable at all.
