Vintage 8x10 in. US single-weight glossy copy photograph from the classic 1930's pre-Code musical comedy/romance, FOOTLIGHT PARADE, released in 1933 by Warner Bros. and directed by Lloyd Bacon and musical numbers created and directed by Busby Berkeley.

The cast includes Joan Blondell, Ruby Keeler, Dick Powell, Frank McHugh, Guy Kibbee, Ruth Donnelly, Hugh Herbert, and Claire Dodd.
The image features an interior shot on the stage of a theater as Chester Kent (James Cagney) and his assistant, Nan Prescott (Joan Blondell), watch dancer Bea Thorn (Ruby Keller) lift her skirt to show-off her legs during an audition. Trimmed to approximately 7.25 x 9.75 in., it is in near-fine condition without any pinholes, tears, stains, writing, or other flaws.
