If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that the American posters for this movie only picture Jackie Coogan, which is natural, because he was a major star in 1925, and Joan Crawford was almost completely unknown. But for the French release of this movie, the French distributor decided to focus on the romantic matchmaking aspect of the movie, so they showed a cool artwork image of Jackie Coogan as a young Cupid, aiming his bow at Joan Crawford and Allan Forrest! Crawford is unbilled, but this is likely one of the very first posters to depict her! Condition: very good. The poster had areas of paper loss at some crossfolds and some creases, tears, and small areas of paper loss on parts of several foldlines. There were many creases and tears down the center of the poster, but fortunately, this falls in the area between the actors' images. There were many creases and tears around the edges of the poster. Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was nicely backed, and displays well! Learn More about condition grades
