If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know.
Important Added Info: This three-sheet was printed in 3 sections. Shortly after it was printed, the three sections were glued together onto a brown "kraft" paper (this is called "kraftbacking"). This was commonly done in the 1920s to help posters stay in one piece as they traveled from theater to theater. This poster is one of 9 posters that were recently discovered under a floor of a very old house (in the 1920s it was common for builders to use old movie posters as insulation between walls and under floors!). THIS POSTER HAS MAJOR CONDITION DEFECTS, WHICH SHOULD BE EVIDENT FROM THE IMAGE BELOW. It can be professionally restored, but that can take a fair amount of money, so bear the restoration costs in mind BEFORE you place a bid on this item!

Condition: good. Because this poster spent the last 70+ years under a floor of a house, it has considerable damage (see the image below). A talented professional restorer can easily remove the poster from its kraft backing, but to then restore the damaged and missing areas might take a good amount of time and money, so bear that in mind BEFORE you place a bid. Of course, realize that this may well be the only surviving example of this poster, so you may not have the option of waiting for a better example to come along! Note that there is paper loss in the face and chest of the boy at upper left. I doubt there is a reference for a restorer to copy from, but I believe enough of the boy's face remains, that a restorer can reasonably guess at what the rest of his face should look like!
