Few people who have seen this movie ever forget the classic chalice in the palace sequence! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Artist: Richardson Studio Important Added Info: Note that this daybill was used by The Orpheum theater in Sydney, Australia that originally opened in 1935! The theater featured art deco design, two levels and seating for 1735. The theater was sold in the 1970s and converted into a shopping center. Luckily, in 1986, it was lovingly restored and re-opened as the Hayden Orpheum! Also note that this poster was folded at one time but has been laying flat for a long time and will be sent rolled in a tube. Condition: good. There is a theater snipe glued across the bottom of the poster that adds approximately 3 1/2" to the overall height of the poster (the poster was not trimmed and the snipe could surely be removed by a professional restorer, or talented amateur, if one chose to do so). There is tattering and paper loss around the edges of the poster and there are some creases throughout. Learn More about condition grades
