Note that Boris Karloff had a very minor role in this movie (as Imam Mowaffak), and we don't think he appears on any advertising, although he could possibly appear on a still or lobby card! 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. Artist: G.W. Peters Important Added Info: Note that first release 1927 movie paper from this movie is incredibly rare. We have only auctioned a single lobby card from this movie (but no posters) until we received this window card in 2018. The buyer of that card has now reconsigned it to us, so it is still the only example of this window card we have ever auctioned! Also note that this window card was never folded. Often window cards would be folded across the middle, because that would make them 11" x 14", and they could then be sent with standard folded posters. Most collectors put an added value on a window card that has never been folded. Condition: good to very good. There is some light staining around the edges and a tear in the top play dates area, with a pinhole in the "O" of "OMAR". Overall, however, the card has survived in pretty nice condition (see our image). Learn More about condition grades
