It's a poster printed for the library circuit. I had about a dozen of these
at one time, all different titles, but including the CK. From the 1950s,
they came from a theater owner who sold me a few thousand posters, and he
told me what these were. Back in the 50s, they would provide films for the
schools and libraries to show to the kids during summer. These posters were
provided to help publicize the library showings.
hope this helps.

Because this is RKO, it might be a Canadian poster. I have seen some
Astaire / Rogers one sheet posters that look similar
to the originals but are not U.S. originals. In each case these came
from Canada. Those posters were in color, like the originals, but
had different line screens and we're, all in all, inferior printings
to the U.S. originals. This is similar in that the poster is similar
art, but duotone. I think this is at least a possibility.
