With the screen's newest singing sensation in a gripping romantic drama."; "He hunted for pirate gold and found a sweetheart treasure!"; "He was a two-fisted singing sea-ranger... who never side-stepped trouble or a sweetheart... and found plenty of both as he battled as desperate a band of cutthroats as ever ranged the South Seas!") starring George Houston (in the title role as Captain Bill Jones), Marian Nixon, Vince Barnett, Crane Wilbur, George Lewis, Juan Torena, Movita (billed as "Movita of 'Mutiny on the Bounty'"), and Roy D'Arcy. Note that Movita had just made Mutiny on the Bounty before she made this movie, so she was given prominent billing as described above, but oddly, she was not pictured on the advertising! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: 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. 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)! Condition: good, WITH CUTS. There is a large ad cut from one interior page and the covers have separated at the spine. Otherwise, the pressbook is in pretty good condition.
