Note that the movie was filmed in 1923 but problems with editing the film to a manageable length delayed it's premier until December 1924 and the general release to January 1925! Also note that, sadly, much of the film is completely lost, but amazingly, dedicated fans reconstructed a 239 minute version of the movie in 1999, using still photographs to fill in the many missing sections!

We have only previously auctioned a window card (29 years ago for $2,990), two Japanese posters, a Swedish poster, a herald, and some stills from this movie (and NO other first release movie paper of any kind) until we received this German program, which we have never auctioned before!
