Cleveland: Otis Lithograph Co., ca. 1928. A young turban-clad boy climbs a thick rope magically suspended in the air as Thurston gestures upward from the side of the image. The actual effect audiences witnessed was somewhat less spectacular and convincing than what the poster promised. 27 x 40 ½". Minor tears on edges repaired; A-. Uncommon one-sheet size.
