Sell. Note that this movie was made at a time when many subjects like abortion, birth control, drug addiction, and other similar subjects were openly talked about in many mainstream movies. After Wallace Reid's death from a drug overdose, there was a backlash against such subjects, and they rarely showed up in movies until the beginning of sound, when "pre-Code" movies again explored such subjects.

The poster had considerable paper loss along the right half of the top horizontal fold and some paper loss scattered in the rest of the folds, with tears below the right half of the top horizontal fold. It also had tears and paper loss around the edges. Overall, the poster was in poor condition prior to linenbacking. Given the poster's much lesser condition, the restorer did a pretty good job recreating the missing areas, but you can clearly see signs of the above defects and the restoration of the above defects.
