If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that oddly, even though Mickey Rooney plays the lead role in the movie and is billed equally to Patricia Ellis, the designer of this poster did not include an image of him (he is surely one of the jockeys riding the horses, but he is not recognizable). They did however include an image of Willie Best, Patricia Ellis, and Dennis Moore, cheering Rooney on to victory! Note that this poster has been paperbacked. What IS paperbacking?
