A gypsy girl with the gift of second sight is initially shunned as a witch but uses her talent to raise her social standing by marrying into the aristocracy and inheriting a vast stately home.

Trade advertisements are colourful posters aimed at cinema managers, which were either slipped in, or part of, the weekly film trade journals which were available to them by subscription but were not sold to the general public. Most were designed to be pulled out, and some were attached by staples. Most have the date in tiny letters in one of the top corners.

The Advertisement is in very good condition with one vertical centre fold and staple holes along it.
