Date Sold 9/23/2018 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Danish Movie Program (measures 5 3/4" x 8 3/4" [15 x 22 cm]; 8 pages) (Learn More) Why Sailors Go Wrong, the 1928 Henry Lehrman silent New York Jewish/Irish Navy sailor tropical island romantic slapstick comedy ("High sea roamers in romantic hot water"; about a pair of New York cab drivers, one Jewish and one Irish, who stow away on a ship and find themselves in Pago Pago with hostile natives, and they have adventures with wild animals and are almost eaten by the natives before they are rescued by American sailors) starring Sammy Cohen, Ted McNamara, Sally Phipps, Nick Stuart, and E.H. Calvert. Note that this was the sort of "ethnic" comedy that was popular in vaudeville at this time, but there are not many movies with it. Star Sammy Cohen had a large nose, and there are many references to it in the movie, along with jokes about his "cheapness". When the movie was released in Germany that year, it was re-titled to "Emil und Schlemihl". One wonders how this movie was received in Germany, which already had major anti-Semitism. Also, note that this is a "lost" film which means that no surviving copies are thought to exist. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that we have pictured the front and back covers and an interior 2-page spread from this program. Condition: good. Learn More about condition grades
