An Original Vintage Theatrical Uruguayan Movie Herald (measures 3 1/2" x 6 3/4" [9 x 17 cm]; 6 pages) (Learn More) Cradle Song, the 1933 Mitchell Leisen romantic religious nun convent melodrama ("The new thrill of the screen"; "A new star to thrill ten million hearts!"; "When her eyes open... ten million hearts will thrill!!"; "To see her once is to remember her always!"; based on the Spanish play by Gregorio Martinez Sierra; about a group of nuns who raise an orphan girl, and when that girl grows up, she herself helps the nuns raise a baby; when that baby grows up, she wants to leave the convent, and the woman who spent her entire life there, who was her surrogate mother, reluctantly lets her go) starring Dorothea Wieck, Evelyn Venable, Guy Standing, Louise Dresser, and Kent Taylor (in his fourth credited role!). Note that this was the only film version of what was a very popular and famous Spanish play, and Paramount apparently had huge hopes that Dorothea Wieck (a Swiss actress who had appeared in a bunch of German movies, including the lesbian cult classic "Madchen in Uniform") might be another Greta Garbo, but apparently the movie and Miss Wieck did not catch on with American audiences, and she appeared in one other American movie, and then returned to Germany where she made movies for many years.

Important Added Info: Please note that Uruguayan heralds, like Spanish heralds, were printed in large quantities, and then sent to individual theaters in Uruguay, and they would have the backs of them overprinted or stamped with their theater name and specific play dates. But because a movie might play in Uruguay for a period of a year or two (traveling from theater to theater), there is no guarantee that the date overprinted on the back of the herald is the same as the date that the herald was first printed (and the date that the movie first played in Uruguay). We strongly suspect that most movies did not reach Uruguay until a year or two after their first release in other countries, but we can't say for certain. Therefore, we don't list the date overprinted on the back of a herald as the date of the herald (or the date of the movie's first release in Uruguay) unless we know from some other source that the later year was when the movie first played in Uruguay. If it is important to you that the date on the herald is the same date as when the movie first played in its country of origin, then please look at our image of the back of this herald to see if there is a different date printed on it.
