Important Added Info: Note that this poster COULD possibly be an English poster, because it has dimensions that are similar to that of an English double crown, but there were also special U.S. posters around this size in the 1920s. We have never seen this poster before, and it is possible it was created for a local theater. If anyone knows more about this poster or the country it came from, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Please do not bid on this poster unless you can accept the uncertainty as to its country of origin (but we feel certain it is from 1928 and from the movie's first release). Condition: very good. The poster was never folded. There were some creases and scuffs scattered in the image with a few in Jolson's jacket, but none in his face. There were some pinholes, creases, tears, and tiny areas of paper loss 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
