An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Pressbook (pb; measures 11 1/4" x 17 1/4" [29 x 44 cm]; 6 pages) (Learn More)

The Telegraph Trail, the 1933 Tenny Wright cowboy western starring John Wayne ("The Rough Riding Star"), Duke ("The Miracle Horse"), Frank McHugh, Marceline Day, Otis Harlan, Albert J. Smith, Yakima Canutt, Lafe McKee, and Slim Whitaker. Note that in this early movie (and in several of his other early movies), John Wayne's horse was named Duke (which was the name of Wayne's childhood dog). Of course, many years later, Wayne himself would become known as "The Duke"!

Important Added Info: Note that pressbooks from John Wayne's 1930s Vitagraph westerns are beyond rare! Not only have we never previously auctioned this pressbook, but we have never previously auctioned any pressbooks from any of his Vitagraph westerns! 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. The pressbook is complete and uncut. It was folded horizontally across the middle and lightly folded vertically. There are pinholes in the top left and bottom left and small paper loss in the top border of the cover. The pages had darkened somewhat and there are some faint smudges and small stains around the edges.
