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: fair. The poster is in much lesser condition. There are several defects scattered along the edges and foldlines and there are several significant areas of foldline separation. Many of the defects have been repaired with tape from the back that may bleed through to the front. Learn More about condition grades
