If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that there is a tagline in the lower triangular-shaped inset box that reads "Accidentally she stumbled on the truth - her husband was a Negro!". Apparently, this was NOT something that the theater that used this poster wanted to advertise, so they taped and glued a piece of a brown paper bag over that tagline! Depending on how you look at it, this is either a significant defect, or a cool addition to the poster (as it represents the extreme prejudice of that time)! Note also that this poster has never been folded! Some pre-1970 insert posters were folded twice horizontally at the poster exchange, while some were not. It can be difficult to find an unfolded example of many pre-1970 insert posters (note that most post-1970 inserts were NOT folded, so they are pretty much only found unfolded, and therefore this does not apply to those inserts). Condition: good to very good. There is a snipe over the tagline at right (see above). Learn More about condition grades
