Description

The Ladybird (Chadwick, 1927). Swedish One Sheet (22.5" X 35").
Gaining international acclaim decades later with such classic musicals as The King and I, The Little Princess, and State Fair, Walter Lang directs this exciting crime drama set during a raucous Mardi Gras celebration in New Orleans. Silent star
Betty Compson winds up in the crosshairs of the local mob, joined onscreen by the likes of Malcolm McGregor, Sheldon Lewis, and Hank Mann. Sold for the first time at Heritage, this dramatic stone litho portrait of Compson is in absolutely incredible shape for paper of its age. The poster shows only some very slight edge wear and is otherwise flawless. Folded, Very Fine/Near Mint.
