Aubrey Smith, and Hedda Hopper. Note that this was a pretty daring and racy pre-Code movie, but the producers softened the interracial romance aspect by having the girl turn out to be half Egyptian and the guy turn out to be royalty!

Prior to World War II, Belgian posters were much larger than the ones from after the war, and they are extremely rare (because during WWII, there was a massive paper shortage in Belgium, and they took virtually every poster and map, and printed new posters on the backs of them!).

It had paper loss in the top left blank corner but was otherwise in quite nice condition prior to linenbacking. The restorer backed the poster "in the European style", meaning that they did not do restoration to the defects described above. Learn More about condition grades
