Wells, Bobbie Mack, Charles Brinley, and Noble Johnson NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that this is one of the earliest pressbooks known to exist! Apparently, it was right at this time that studios realized there was a value to including images of the posters they had created for the movie in their pre-release promo brochures, and this pressbook has 28 pages that show everything BUT the posters, and then it has a separate 4-page supplement that is the same size as the pressbook that includes full-color images of the 24-sheet, 6-sheet, 1-sheet, and window card (see our image)! Very soon after this, it would become standard for pressbooks to always include poster images, and in a couple of years, it became standard for the posters to be pictured on the back page. Note that ANY movie paper from this movie is incredibly rare. We have only previously auctioned three half-sheets (one may have been the same poster we auctioned twice) from this movie (and NO other movie paper of any kind) until we received this pressbook! 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! Note: We have 11 images of this pressbook, but due to a space limitation, only TEN of the 11 images are displayed above. However, there is a "supersize" link to the right of those images that lets you see the other 1. Condition: good to very good, NO CUTS. The pressbook is complete and uncut.
