An Original Vintage Herald (measures 3 1/2" x 5" [9 x 13 cm]; 4 pages) (Learn More) a 1933 local theater herald advertising the complete program for July 9th to the 15th, at the Auditorium Theatre, which included the following movies: Adorable, the 1933 William Dieterle (billed as "Wilhelm Dieterle") romantic comedy ("Happy-Romantic-Lilting-Superb!"; "A Joyous Romance in Rhythm"; "Story by Paul Frank and Billie Wilder [Billy Wilder]"; "Music by Werner Richard Heymann"; the age old story of a beautiful princess who pretends to be a poor commoner, and she falls in love with a worker, but the Prime Minister of her country wants her to marry a prince she has never met) starring Janet Gaynor, Henri Garat, Sterling Holloway, C. Aubrey Smith, and Herbert Mundin. Note that this movie was made two years after director William Dieterle emigrated from Germany to the United States, and he is billed under his birth name of Wilhelm Dieterle. Also, this is one of the earliest U.S. movies for legendary director/writer Billy Wilder after HE emigrated from Germany, and he is billed under the name of "Billie" Wilder (especially odd, because his birth name was Samuel Wilder!). AND The Big Cage, the 1933 Wilfred Lucas & Kurt Neumann circus adventure thriller ("Jungle Brutes Bring Terror to The Biggest Show on Earth!") starring Clyde Beatty, Anita Page, Andy Devine, Vince Barnett, and Mickey Rooney AND A Lady's Profession, the 1933 Norman Z. McLeod screwball comedy (about a brother and sister English Lord and Lady who somehow end up buying an American roadhouse, and get mixed up with gangsters and the police) starring Alison Skipworth, Roland Young, Sari Maritza, Kent Taylor, and Roscoe Karns AND Flaming Guns, the 1932 Arthur Rosson cowboy western starring Tom Mix, Tony Jr. the Horse (billed as "and his new pony, Tony, Jr."), Ruth Hall, William Farnum, George Hackathorne, Duke R. Lee, Gilbert Holmes, Clarence Wilson, and Slim Whitaker. Note that it has been said that Tom Mix's horse Tony was the greatest horse ever in westerns (apparently he could untie knots with his teeth and he would run INTO burning buildings, something no other horse would do). He was in all of Mix's movies until Mix retired in 1929, Mix came out of retirement in 1932 and made five movies, all with "Tony Jr.", and then he retired again. If anyone knows more about why Tony stopped making movies in 1929 or about Tony Jr., and whether he was really Tony's son, please e-mail us and we will post it here. AND The Barbarian (released in some European countries as "Man of the Nile" and in other English-speaking countries as "A Night in Cairo"), the 1933 Sam Wood Egypt romantic love triangle interracial romance adventure thriller (a wild story of a pretty English visitor to Egypt who is engaged to a rich man, but an Arab porter tries to romance her, and then virtually kidnaps her and tries to force her to marry him; after many adventures, she leaves him at the altar and prepares to marry her rich Englishman, but the Arab porter shows up at her wedding and starts singing, and she realizes she truly loves him, and she goes off with him, and the movie ends with them floating on a boat on the Nile, and she confesses that she is secretly half Egyptian herself, and he says he is secretly a Prince and he wouldn't care if she were half Chinese!) starring Ramon Novarro, Myrna Loy, Reginald Denny, Louise Closser Hale, C. Aubrey Smith, and Hedda Hopper. Note that this was a pretty daring and racy pre-Code movie, but the producers softened the interracial romance aspect by having the girl turn out to be half Egyptian and the guy turn out to be royalty! AND The Little Giant, the 1933 Roy Del Ruth post-Prohibition high society crime comedy spoof ("See what happens when a 'Little Caesar' tries to muscle in on the 400"; when Prohibition ends, a major bootlegger goes to California and tries to con a bunch of high society people, but he ends up getting taken himself) starring Edward G. Robinson, Mary Astor, Helen Vinson, Russell Hopton, and Shirley Grey. Some of the other films in this herald include: Riot, Leningrad, Wreckety Wrecks, and High Spots of the Far East NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Condition: good.
