eMoviePoster.comAuction History Result 7s093 METROPOLITAN German program '36 different images of Lawrence Tibbett & Virginia Bruce! Date Sold 6/12/2016Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original 1936 (from the first release of this movie in Germany) Vintage German Film Program (measures 8" x 11 1/2" [20 x 29 cm]; 8 pages) (Learn More) Metropolitan, the 1935 Richard Boleslawski romantic musical melodrama (about a woman in opera who leaves the Metropolitan to start her own company, and then leaves that one too, leaving her leading man to carry on without her) starring Lawrence Tibbett, Virginia Bruce, Alice Brady, Cesar Romero, Thurston Hall, Jane Darwell, and Luis Alberni. Note that Lawrence Tibbett was a singer during the 1930s (but best remembered from the Metropolitan Opera), who appeared in several movies as, naturally, an opera singer. He was the first to play the leading role in many famous operas, including the role of Brutus Jones, in The Emperor Jones (which he played in blackface)! Darryl F. Zanuck signed him to a multi-picture contract, sure he would be a major star, but alas, he was not, and he only appeared in a few movies. Later, he had throat problems, which led to a drinking problem (or perhaps vice versa), and his later years were unhappy. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that we have provided an image of four of the pages of this 8-page program (we did this by opening it and laying it flat and photographing the front and back cover together, and two of the interior pages together). You can see the four of the 8 pages, and can well determine the exact condition of it from our super-sized image, but realize that there are 4 pages you are not seeing. But of course this means that the front cover appears in the top right of our image, but normally, the program would be folded down the center and you would view the cover by itself (and it will be sent folded as was originally intended). Condition: good to very good. The program has tiny bits of paper loss in the spine, but it is otherwise in pretty good condition. Learn More about condition grades
