A 1923 six-sheet — a large multi-panel poster pasted up as a single billboard-scale image — for the Paramount satire directed by James Cruze. Cruze filled the picture with dozens of stars appearing as themselves, at the exact moment the industry's scandals had made 'Hollywood' a word with a second meaning. The film is lost; only a fragment is known to survive. The near-square proportion, unusual among surviving sheets, which is the six-sheet format assembled rather than a single printed piece. A town describing itself before the description hardened.
