Important Added Info: Note that ANY movie paper from this movie is incredibly rare. We have only previously auctioned two heralds from this movie (and NO other movie paper of any kind) until we received this one-sheet! Note that this poster was created at a time when Paramount was experimenting with their one-sheets. They created some one-sheets with blank areas at the bottom where the theater could either print information about the show times (like with window cards, except the blank area was not separate from the main image, but was part of the image background), or they could provide information about what else they were showing that day, or any other information that they wanted to provide. This was solely done for some 1926 and 1927 Paramount movies and no others. This poster is one of those special one-sheets from that time (see our image). What IS linenbacking?

The poster had an extra horizontal fold 2" below the regular top one, and it also had a diagonal crease or tear running from the man's upper lip down into the woman's collar. It had some tiny tears and paper loss on parts of some folds, with some tears and paper loss around the edges. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was pretty well backed, but you can see signs of the above defects and the restoration of the above defects. Learn More about condition grades
