Important Added Info: Note that when this trade ad was removed from a magazine, it was removed with three other pages (because there is an ad for this movie on two facing pages, and of course, there are also the backs of those pages, but those don't have interesting ads, so we have photographed the 2-page ad, but not the backs (see our images). 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: very good.
