Dutch postcard, 1924. Publicity card to promote The Young Rajah (1922, Phil Rosen), which was presented in the Asta Theatre in The Hague, The Netherlands.
Rudolph Valentino was in this film credited as Rodolph Valentino. The Young Rajah was reportedly a lost film, but a few years ago the last forty minutes of a nitrate print were discovered. Paramount used stills and trailers to reconstruct the film and did according to reviewer Ischlake on IMDb a very commendable job .
