Note that this movie was naturally incredibly popular in small towns across America at this time, and in the next few years. Clever promoters would take it into a small town or city and show it for a single weekend (sometimes late night or midnight shows), and they would plaster the town with one-sheets or window cards announcing the event. It is very difficult to note which posters are from the very first release in 1937, and which ones are from the roadshow releases in the years afterwards.

Movies like these played in small towns (usually in midnight shows) for years after their initial release, and this poster is almost surely from a 1940s "roadshow" release (meaning it was taken from town to town every week). Also note that this poster was printed by the "Globe Poster Corp" of Baltimore, and is not a studio-issued poster. There were many companies in the 1930s that printed alternate posters for use by theaters. Sometimes those posters were less expensive than the regular studio posters, and they were also much in demand when a theater needed posters in a hurry, for no theater wanted to show movies without displaying posters! Also note that this three-sheet measures 41 1/4" x 83 1/4" [105 x 211 cm]. What IS linenbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good.
