An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Pressbook (pb; measures 11" x 16 1/2" [28 x 42 cm]; 8 pages) (Learn More) Hole In the Wall, the 1929 Robert Florey kidnapping mystery melodrama (about a woman who was sent to prison based on the accusations of another woman, and when she is released, she kidnaps the daughter of the woman responsible; meanwhile, there is a gang of crooks called the "Hole in the Wall Gang", and they are led by a mysterious crook called "The Fox" and a woman known as "Madame Mysteria", but then that woman is killed, and the kidnapper is invited to take her place, and there is also a newspaperman investigating everything!) starring Claudette Colbert, David Newell, Nellie Savage, Edward G. Robinson (as The Fox), and Donald Meek. Note that this movie was made at the time when all studios were converting to sound, and they were having trouble with their silent stars, many of whom could not adapt. Claudette Colbert and Edward G. Robinson had made very minor film appearances years prior to this, and both had ended up acting on the stage in New York. They were both recruited for this movie because of their stage experience, and of course, both went on to legendary careers (and director Robert Florey went on to write "Frankenstein"!). NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that we have never before auctioned this pressbook! Also 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. It was removed from a bound volume. It is fragile and has tears and tiny paper loss around the edges, with clear tape on three sides of the cover. Learn More about condition grades
