This is an original 1927 two-color print ad for the silent film San Francisco (?) from Columbia Pictures featuring Betty Compson. We are unable to verify if this film was ever produced or, if it was, perhaps it was under a different title. Can an eBay film buff clarify this for us?

Period Paper has obtained several exclusive collections of rare silent film and early talkie film memorabilia over the last year, but few have compared to this ULTRA RARE collection of promotional advertisements for Columbia Pictures' 1927-1928 season --films available through the Liberty-Specialty Film Distributing Corporation. If you are a Columbia Pictures movie memorabilia collector, please see all these extraordinary, (and very framable), promotional film flyers offered from this collection.

BUY IT NOW or MAKE OFFER (or Auction Bid) - Period Paper offers its customers multiple pricing options. Some of our customers are not interested in the expensive dual certificates of authenticity from the National Archive of Advertising & Illustration Art supplied with our items (time and materials for this cost us $7-$10 per item). If you would like to save on this item or other items from Period Paper, simply use the Make Offer feature and make us a reasonable offer and we'll do our best to accept. You can also save by placing minimum bids when items are out to auction or when we have an item on sale in our store. See below:

MAKE OFFER purchases that are accepted will come with a Period Paper Certificate of Authenticity instead of the dual NAIAA certificates. This includes everything that is not Buy it Now... therefore, if you are a winning bidder of an auction, or buy this item on sale, or use promotional discounts, you will receive the Period Paper Certificate of Authenticity and your item will ship immediately after Buy it Now purchases.
All BUY IT NOW purchases will receive the dual NAIAA certificates and ship ahead of all other orders. NOTE! If an item is on sale in our store for a price lower than the Buy it Now prices, and you wish to receive the Buy it Now upgrade, simply use the Make Offer button to make us an offer at the original Buy it Now price versus the discounted price. Or, you can always upgrade to the NAIAA certificates at checkout.

We use MarketWorks Checkout to ensure accurate and timely processing and tracking of your order. Therefore, when you checkout, you will be redirected to our eBay certified provider site to complete your transaction. This ensures that we have the correct information for your shipment and order. We accept M/C, Visa, American Express, Discover, PayPal, money order, cashiers check, and personal checks. If you choose to pay via money order, cashiers check or personal checks, you still need to checkout so that we can immediately ship your item upon payment receipt.

Payment is expected no later than 7 days after the close of the auction item. Sales tax added for all Wisconsin residents.
