This piece was printed in two sheets, and designed to be pasted onto billboards. Therefore only unused examples survived.
Exceptionally rare. This piece has only surfaced a couple of times.
This 1936 film was directed by Louis King. The cast includes Barton MacLane, June Travis, and Warren Hull. It tells the story of a circus animal trainer, who has a challenge in training Satan, the man-killer tiger, who turns out to be more dangerous than he appears. In 1936 it was advertised as 'the thrill of the year'.
