EBAY FIND - PROGRAM FROM SCREENING OF 1932 MONA LISA THEFT MOVIE

I'm always searching ebay for new Mona Lisa theft items.  Just bought this one -- a flyer from Loew's Theater Boston for the 1932 film "The Theft of the Mona Lisa."

There was actually a hit song from the film called "Tell Me Why You Smile, Mona Lisa."

The film's plot is based on Peruggia's relationship with a German girl named Mathilde.  The truth is less romantic than the fiction as we show in our film. (The song in the background is the German version of the hit song from the film.)

"The Theft of the Mona Lisa" is actually English version of the German film "Der Raub der Mona Lisa" which was released in Europe in 1931 -- the 20th anniversary of the theft.

Below is the German flyer which I found several years ago.
