Brown, Marge & Gower Champion, Robert Sterling, Agnes Moorehead, and William Warfield (who sings "Old Man River", which had been sung by Paul Robeson in the 1936 version, which also starred Irene Dunne, Allan Jones, Charles Winninger, and Helen Morgan). There had been a 1929 version, but that was initially filmed as a silent, and then some music was hastily added just before it was released. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: From the 1920s on, studios would create elaborate trade ads, often in full color, and often using the finest artists of the day. They would run these ads in their studio yearbooks and exhibitor magazines, and they would also print those trade ads separately and mail them individually to theater owners, trying to get them to book that specific movie. Sometimes those books and magazines are separated and the ads, which now greatly resemble the individually printed trade ads, are sold individually. The trade ad offered here was removed from a yearbook or magazine. It can be framed and displayed (but many trade ads have different images on each side, so one must choose which side to display if it is framed!). Condition: good to very good. The ad has some separation at left in the center horizontal fold. It is otherwise in pretty nice condition. Learn More about condition grades
