An Original Vintage Theatrical Uruguayan Movie Herald (measures 4 3/4" x 6 3/4" [12 x 17 cm]; 2 pages) (Learn More) Broadway, the 1929 Pal Fejos New York City theater stage acting romantic crime murder musical ("No other picture like it in the world!"; "100% singing and talking"; "100% Talking - Singing - Dancing Picture"; "The one and only Broadway, the greatest of all singing and talking pictures, Broadway, with full dialog from Jed Harris' stage success, Broadway, the first $1,000,000 all talking picture"; "The ONE and ONLY Broadway Universal Super Production"; based on the play by Phillip Dunning & George Abbott; about a naive showgirl who gets involved with bootleggers and murder!) starring Glenn Tryon, Evelyn Brent, Merna Kennedy, Thomas Jackson (billed as "E.T. Jackson"), Otis Harlan, Robert Ellis, and Fritz Feld. Note that this is a most unusual movie. The director was Pal Fejos, a Hungarian bacteriologist (!), who had directed movies in Hungary in 1921 to 1923, and somehow he convinced Universal to let him direct a movie for them in 1928, and they apparently liked it enough to give him this movie the following year. The movie was shot in both silent and sound versions, and in black and white and color, and the innovative director did not want it to be like other early sound movies, where the recording equipment restricted them to a stage, and so the opening of the movie has cool outdoor sequences that were filmed with an early camera crane, and because the sound couldn't be recorded outdoors, he dubbed it over the outdoor footage! He directed a number of movies right after this, but had a falling out with Universal in the mid 1930s, and returned to Hungary, where he became a noted anthropologist! Note that a color silent version of this movie survives and also a black and white sound version. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Please note that Uruguayan heralds, like Spanish heralds, were printed in large quantities, and then sent to individual theaters in Uruguay, and they would have the backs of them overprinted or stamped with their theater name and specific play dates. But because a movie might play in Uruguay for a period of a year or two (traveling from theater to theater), there is no guarantee that the date overprinted on the back of the herald is the same as the date that the herald was first printed (and the date that the movie first played in Uruguay). We strongly suspect that most movies did not reach Uruguay until a year or two after their first release in other countries, but we can't say for certain. Therefore, we don't list the date overprinted on the back of a herald as the date of the herald (or the date of the movie's first release in Uruguay) unless we know from some other source that the later year was when the movie first played in Uruguay. If it is important to you that the date on the herald is the same date as when the movie first played in its country of origin, then please look at our image of the back of this herald to see if there is a different date printed on it.
