Bucquet doctor medical detective crime mystery thriller ("No.5 'The Case of the Cancelled Wedding!'"; one of the very popular series of movies featuring this character and his crusty old mentor, Dr. Gillespie) starring Lew Ayres (in the title role as Doctor James Kildare), Lionel Barrymore (as Dr. Gillespie), Laraine Day, Samuel S. Hinds, Gene Lockhart, Nat Pendleton, Emma Dunn, John Shelton, Alma Kruger, and Walter Kingsford NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that when studios would prepare pressbooks they would often include a sample of the herald. Most often, the herald is no longer still with the pressbook. Sometimes, the herald by itself will sell for almost as much as the rest of the entire pressbook! This pressbook contains the original herald which is pictured next to the pressbook below. 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. Almost every Academy Award winning movie would have a special "Academy Award winner" supplement. 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)! 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, NO CUTS. The pressbook is complete and uncut. It was folded across the middle. It is incredibly fragile and has many tears and tiny bits of paper loss along that fold and around the edges (see our images). Learn More about condition grades
