Important Added Info: Note that this is a special promotional poster that was sent to theater owners in 1917 to try to get them to book this movie! It folded up into a brochure, and the "cover" of the brochure showed an artwork image of a railroad train with the tagline "COMING! A Big, New Railroad Film Novel Loaded with Profits for...", with an arrow pointing to the address area, where the name of the theater owner was printed! You then open the brochure, and with each new opening, you saw a different ad pitch for the movie, and then finally, the entire brochure was opened, and on the other side was a great poster for this movie, with a "tipped in" self-addressed postcard addressed to the Mutual Film Corporation, which the theater owner could mail to get more information about booking the movie in their area! Also note that this poster was folded at one time but has been laying flat for a long time and will be sent rolled in a tube. Condition: very good. There is a 6" L-shaped tear in the center of the top of the poster (repaired with clear tape from the back), but otherwise, the poster is in pretty nice condition, especially considering its age!
