Note that this movie was a remake of Universal's movie of the same name made in 1930, starring Jean Hersholt and Kathryn Crawford. That movie also has much in common with The Phantom of the Opera, which Universal had, of course, made in 1925 with Lon Chaney Sr. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that we have never before auctioned this herald! Note that this is from a wonderful collection of heralds we were recently consigned. We auctioned the first 30 from this collection (the very best ones) in our just-concluded April Major Auction. We will auction more from this collection every four weeks until they are all sold, and this time there are 43 different ones (all are in separate auctions), and they include many that we have either never before auctioned or only auctioned once or twice before.. The collection only included one of each herald, so on the rare ones, it may be quite some time before we offer the same title again! Condition: good to very good. Learn More about condition grades
