It is not that uncommon for typos on hand-lettered parts of posters, or indeed on posters themselves.
I have the Australian one sheet for THE WOMEN (1939) which proudly proclaims that it was directed by George Zucor.) and someone on NSF showed a daybill a while back that the world MILLION was spelled in the huge title treatment as MILLLION.

And not spelling the word, First, (FIRT) correctly is a blatant error. At least the seller shows this mistake in a close up image.

And in the second closeup, the orange background caught my eye. What kind of print process is this? This film is from 1933. It isnt stone lithography, with that "dot" pattern? Is this offset printing? And would that have been used in 1933?
