Sylvan Simo romantic juvenile cowboy western ("Laughs, Thrills, Heart-Throbs in a Spectacular Drama!") starring Wallace Beery (in the title role as Zeb Bascomb), Margaret O'Brien, Marjorie Main, J. Carrol Naish, Frances Rafferty, Marshall Thompson, Stanley Andrews, and Donald Curtis NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that, at this time, MGM was making their pressbooks entirely out of newsprint (no doubt a cost saving measure caused by reduced revenues caused by World War II). There are two sections to this pressbook, one marked "Advertising Exploitation Publicity" and the other marked "Advertising Service", which included the posters. Both sections were sent to theater owners in a cool printed envelope, and that envelope is included (see our image). We have never had one of these envelopes before! Note that this auction also includes the printed envelope this item originally came with! Also note that pressbooks were prepared prior to a movie being released. Often, changes would be made in a movie advertising campaign (billing of actors, different images, etc.), and the theaters would print up special supplements that they would send out with the pressbooks that had already been printed. These supplements are very rare, far more rare than the pressbooks themselves! Some pressbooks would have no supplements, some would have one, and some would have several. Also note that we have provided an image of the front and back covers of this pressbook, and of course, the winner of this auction will receive the entire single pressbook we are auctioning (plus any supplements or heralds described above)! Finally, 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! Condition: very good to fine, NO CUTS. The pressbook is complete and uncut and it was folded across the middle. The two sections are printed on newsprint, so they are slightly fragile, but they have likely survived in about as good condition as one of these pressbooks could have survived in!
