If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know.
Important Added Info: Note that this poster has full-bleed borders on the left and right and has NOT been trimmed. This was done by RKO with their daybills in the 1940s and early 1950s. Advanced Australian collectors tell us that this is how all the daybills of this title were created. Please do not bid on this daybill thinking that it has been trimmed as it certainly was not.

Condition: good. The poster has several creases and scuff marks throughout (especially on back) and some tears around the edges and in portions of the image. Please see our super-sized image to get a good sense of the condition of this item prior to placing a bid.
