Nilsson, Louise Fazenda, Ethel Shannon, Arthur Stone, and Guinn 'Big Boy' Williams. Note that Babe Ruth had appeared in a movie in 1920 (called "Headin' Home"), but this was the only other feature movie he appeared in as the star! Also, note that this is a "lost" film which means that no surviving copies are thought to exist. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that ANY movie paper from this movie is incredibly rare. We have only previously auctioned an insert, a lobby card, and two stills from this movie (and NO other movie paper of any kind) until we received this herald, which we have never auctioned before! Condition: good to very good. There is light staining on the blank back cover, with a diagonal crease at the top of that area. There is light staining on the other side of that area that falls in the girl's turban and the background above it. There is 2" of clean separation at the top of the vertical fold. There are a few very tiny tears around the edges and a diagonal crease in the bottom right corner of the front cover and in the same area on the back page. In spite of the above defects (none of which affect either image of Ruth), the herald can be displayed really well exactly as it is! Learn More about condition grades
