If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this poster was created at a time in 1927 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), 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 1927 Paramount movies and no others. This poster is one of those special one-sheets from that time (see our image). Condition: good. There are two snipes glued to the bottom solid background area. There are tears and areas of paper loss on parts of several foldlines, and in the top and bottom borders (see our image).
