1940réf. 155137Clarksburg WV: Union Label 1940. Vintage flyer issued to promote showings of the 1940 film at the Ritz Theatre in Clarksburg West Virginia. The flyer notes: "Just in case you laugh off all your buttons- / along with your troubles- / take this along when you see / 'The Great Dictator'" and includes a safety pin with a chain ostensibly originally holding a spare button now missing.

Though several of Chaplin's previous films had made use of music and sound effects and while Chaplin had sung briefly in "Modern Times" "The Great Dictator" marked the first time he spoke dialogue onscreen. 5 x 3 inches. Very Good with moderate soil overall and light rust around the safety pin. Criterion Collection 565. Union Label unknown books
