At the time, theaters would often hire local artists to create hand painted individual posters for newly released movies. Alvin Wolfson had several artists working under him creating these posters at the Alvin Wolfson Studio but this particular poster was executed by the artist himself. Many of these posters were painted on heavy poster board and they're usually around a one sheet size. This poster was created on poster board and rendered in tempera. Although painted in 1924 for the original release year of the film, the art is signed Alvin Wolfson\\'25L since at the time, Alvin Wolfson was a Law Student at the University of Michigan, Class of 1925, hence the '25L after the signature. **ORIGINALLY PICTURED IN THE BOOK REEL ART: GREAT MOVIE POSTERS FROM THE GOLDEN AGE OF THE SILVER SCREEN, THIS INCREDIBLY FAMOUS IMAGE HAS BEEN TAKEN AND REPRODUCED WITHOUT PERMISSION ALL OVER THE PLACE, INCLUDING ON THE INTERNET MOVIE DATABASE(IMDB) AND IS CURRENTLY BEING SOLD AS CHEAP REPRODUCTIONS ONLINE AND ELSEWHERE.
