If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that the color inset image on this paper banner (see our image) was printed on a separate sheet and then attached to that area of the banner (this was commonly done with paper banners, and some 30x40s and 40x60s of this period). This is how the poster was created. Also note that this movie was originally in 3-D. The studios created both 3D and 2D posters and lobby cards (the 2-D posters and lobby cards were for theaters that lacked the 3-D equipment). This poster is from the "3-D" release. Note that in the 1910s through 1930s, studios would make large cloth banners that movie theaters could hang up above their lobbies (or above their entrances). In the early 1940s, they changed to making paper banners (perhaps there was a cloth shortage during World War II). At first, they were made of one-sheet-like paper, and they didn't survive very well, and they apparently were not very popular, because very few survive. At some point around 1946, they changed to making them out of a heavy paper stock, similar to that used for 40x60s, but measuring 24" x 80". Many people think these became very popular at drive-in theaters, which were then expanding at a major pace throughout the country. The paper banners were very popular until the late 1960s, and then far fewer were made (perhaps corresponding to the decline in popularity of drive-in theaters). Note that this poster is very long, but because it is not very wide, it can be sent in a regular size tube. However, it can NOT be combined with other rolled posters, and must be either sent by itself (or combined with other paper banners that are exactly like this). Please bear this in mind before bidding on this poster. Condition: good. The poster has creases, smudges and scuff marks scattered throughout (typical of many paper banners that were likely displayed at one time). There are a few tears around the edges.
