MovieArt Austin has the one sheet from this film. Jeanne Eagels' was the first version of the Somerset Maugham play. Later, of course, it was made with Bette Davis. It's a very beautiful one sheet of the borderless style, characteristic of some Paramount one sheets of this period. Stone litho. Linen backed. $4500. RARE for sure. This copy was fine ++. But not near mint. Some minor work.
Go here for a look:

Heritage's half sheet is also wonderful.

haven't seen the Heritage catalogue yet but I did have a look at some of the items on line. One poster that struck me was the half sheet for the Jeanne Eagles 1929 film "The Letter". The tagline/quote on that poster is a real classic and it will be interesting to see what price this realises considering it is apparently the only known copy.
