Aubrey Smith (as Lord Capulet), Andy Devine, Ralph Forbes (as Paris), Reginald Denny (as Benvolio), and Violet Kember Cooper (as Lady Capulet). Note that one complaint of this film adaptation was that Shearer and Howard were far too old for the characters they played. Howard was 43 years old, and Shearer was 34, whereas Romeo was around 16, and Juliet 13! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that we have only previously auctioned one example of this insert, and that was 28 years ago, when it sold for $1,100. The buyer of that poster has now re-consigned it after all these years, so this is still the only example of this insert we have ever auctioned! 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. The poster was partially separating on the folds and someone put tape on the back of each fold, but it is not very noticeable from the front. There is slight darkening around the edges. There was tiny paper loss at the left end of the bottom fold, and someone put some restoration paint on that area. This rare poster will display well on the new owner's wall!
