A 1945 Vintage Theatrical Movie Pressbook (pb; measures 11" x 17" [28 x 43 cm]; 4 pages) (Learn More) The Lone Defender, the 1930 Richard Thorpe canine German Shepherd dog action adventure cowboy western serial ("A Mascot Production in twelve action-crammed chapters"; "All-Talking serial in twelve stirring chapters"; "A thrilling, all-talking serial in 12 chapters"; "A stirring all-talking serial in 12 chapters"; produced by Nat Levine) starring Rin-Tin-Tin (most famous of the movie dog stars, he was Warner Bros.' #1 star in their early lean years and the earnings from his movies kept the studio in the black!), Walter Miller, June Marlowe, Buzz Barton, Joseph Swickard, Lee Shumway, and Julia Bejarano. Note that this was the first Mascot serial to be released solely in a sound version. Also, in 1934, Mascot re-edited this serial into a feature-length film of the same name, and because this 1934 "feature version" was made four years after the serial version, and because it was highly edited, we are list it as a separate entry from this serial. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that we have provided an image of the front and back covers of this pressbook (if the back cover is not the poster page, we photographed the interior poster page), and of course, the winner of this auction will receive the entire single pressbook we are auctioning (plus any supplements or heralds described above)! Also note that this pressbook is complete and uncut! Given that theater owners purchased pressbooks partly in order to create their newspaper advertising, and quite frequently cut them up for that purpose, it is rare to find a pressbook that IS complete and uncut!
UPDATED 07/01/2015: Note that a very knowledgeable collector tells us that this pressbook is from a 1945 re-release and not the 1930 first release as we initially listed. We have updated the auction accordingly. Condition: good to very good, NO CUTS. The pressbook is complete and uncut. It was folded across the middle at one time. There are some creases and a few tiny tears in the top right of each page and slight darkening around the edges of the covers. Otherwise, the pressbook is in pretty good condition.
