Important Added Info: Note that we have never before auctioned this pressbook! Any original movie paper from this early classic Dietrich movie is extremely scarce, and lobby cards from the movie (especially ones with good images of Dietrich) are almost never offered for sale! Also, Paramount pressbooks at this time were printed solely on newsprint, without color covers. Because they were printed on newsprint, they mostly aged terribly, and were usually thrown out like old newspapers. The few Paramount pressbooks from this period that have survived are mostly extremely fragile, but they have great content and show many posters where not a single example are known to exist. 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 received 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! Condition: fair to good, NO CUTS. The pressbook is complete and uncut. As noted above, it is printed on newsprint, and the pages are very fragile. There is paper loss in the bottom left blank corner of all pages, and some tears and tiny paper loss around the edges. The pressbook was folded in half at one time but has laid flat for a long time. One would prefer to find a better example of this pressbook, but not only is it incredibly rare, but it is also likely that any other examples would be in similar condition.
