Brown of Harvard is a 1926 MGM silent film starring William Haines, Jack Pickford and Mary Brian.  The film marked the motion picture debut of a young actor named John Wayne.  The plot revolves around a Harvard student athlete named Tom Brown, and his affections for the beautiful Mary Abbott.  Brown wins the girl after scoring a crucial touchdown against Yale.  Advertising "the greatest football scenes ever screened," the offered handbill is matted and wrapped in cellophane, apparent VG condition with wear at the fold and some tiny notches at the edges, along with some minor creasing.
