Handy, and Barrett Deems NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this poster was linenbacked a long time ago on a thin linenbacking. This was likely done at the time of the first release (this was often done to three-sheets and six-sheets at this time to allow larger posters to be re-used by more than one theater, as the linenbacking helped keep these large posters together and allowed them to be put up and taken down). After the poster was mounted on the thin linen, it was then folded in the usual way (both the linen and the poster itself). More often than not, this linenbacking DID help the poster survive better (any professional restorer can remove the poster from the old linen, and properly re-linenback it). Condition: good. After the poster was mounted on the old linen, the edges of the linen were folded over and glued to the front of the borders. There are two foreign distributor snipes glued to the poster.
