Note that this movie was a remake of Universal's movie of the same name made in 1930, starring Jean Hersholt and Kathryn Crawford.

Our consignor is a longtime dealer who acquired this signed item among many other purchases in his inventory, and he does not have a certificate of authenticity, but we believe the signature to likely be authentic. Also note that this poster has been trimmed and it now measures 14 1/4" x 19 1/2" [36 x 50 cm]. Note that because the poster was folded across the middle, it can be sent in a standard flat package, but it also could be unfolded and rolled in a tube, depending on what the buyer has to combine it with.
