An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Campaign Book (measures 9 1/4" x 12 1/4" [23 x 31 cm]; 48 pages) (Learn More) Warner Bros. First National 1931 - 1932, the 1931 campaign book created by Warner Bros/First National, and featuring information about stars, and their upcoming movies, but much more focused on the stars than the movies, which is not surprising, since it was their "star power" that drove Warner Bros. rise to being a top studio starting in 1931. Some of the stars include: Kay Francis, William Powell, James Cagney, Barbara Stanwyck, Edward G. Robinson, Loretta Young, and many more (some of the stars receive 2-page spreads, and the others are given 1 page each and sometimes a smaller amount). As noted above, most of the book is devoted to their stars, but there are many great ads for films and film series, including a wonderful full page for Bosko, famous star of Looney Tunes, and much more! Note that Warner Bros, alone among major studios, seemed to not believe much in campaign books in the 1930s! After they made this one in 1931, they seemed to have abandoned making campaign books for two decades, because the next regular U.S. campaign book from Warner Bros. we have auctioned is from 1950-51. Or maybe they made them, and only ran them as ads in exhibitor magazines. Or maybe they made them and they are just unbelievably rare! 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. Condition: very good to fine. The book has very minor wear around the edges. Learn More about condition grades
