Note that sixth-billed Lucille Ball had only had very minor parts to this point. The following year, she would have her breakout role in "Stage Door", which would lead to starring roles in lesser movies and supporting roles in major movies! Also note that Lily Pons was a real life opera star who was drafted into movies after the great success of Jeanette MacDonald, and for her first one, she was given "I Dream Too Much" in 1935, with music by Jerome Kern, who had composed the music for the hit movie "Roberta" the year before. But she only appeared in three more movies between 1935 and 1937, and then returned to opera singing. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Artist: Erik Frederiksen Condition: good. The poster was folded once in each direction and there was minor wear on each fold. There were tears and tiny areas of paper loss around the edges of the poster. There was a 10" uneven tear in the middle of the left of the poster, running through Pons' lips. Overall, the poster was in good condition prior to linenbacking. The restorer linenbacked the poster "in the European style", meaning that they did not do restoration to the defects described above. Learn More about condition grades
