Exotic! Dramatic! Fascinating! Wondrous sights to thrill and amaze you!"; "Enthralling romance of the slave girl whose beauty enslaved her masters..."; based on the play by Oscar Asche; a musical version of "Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves") starring Anna May Wong, George Robey (as Ali Baba), Fritz Kortner, John Garrick, and Pearl Argyle. Note that when this movie was released in the U.S. by Gaumont British, the designers of the lobby cards chose to use an image of low-billed Pearl Argyle, perhaps because they did not want to use an image of Anna May Wong! If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: 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 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: good to very good, NO CUTS. This really large pressbook (which measures 16" x 22") is complete and uncut. The covers are separated at the spine and there are creases, scuffs, and some small tears around the edges and along the fold. Learn More about condition grades
