Original movie trade ad for a film, Presenting Lily Mars. From the 1920s, film studios would commission the finest artists of the day to create elaborate trade ads, which were sent to cinemas in an effort to get them to book that specific movie. Presenting Lily Mars is a musical about a talented small-town girl, Lily Mars, trying to make it big on Broadway in New York City. Starring Judy Garland, Van Heflin, Fay Bainter and others. Great artwork by the Romanian American caricaturist, Jacques Kapralik (1906-1960), featuring Judy Garland and Van Heflin on one side; pin-up artwork of a lady in a corset lying down and holding a mask by the noted Peruvian painter, Alberto Vargas (1896-1982), on the other side. Horizontal. Good condition, bumps and minor folds on margins, staple holes in one corner.
