eMoviePoster.comCool Item Of the Week: The Green Goddess pressbookReturn to Cool Item of the Week Archive Added: 05/16/2016 As many of you know, I, Bruce Hershenson, owner of eMoviePoster.com, have collected pressbooks (and related movie paper like studio yearbooks) for over 30 years, and I have the world's foremost collection of such material. I thought I would share one item with you each week, the type of items you almost surely have never seen before, and which might not come up for sale for DECADES! So below is the pressbook from The Green Goddess, the 1930 Alfred E. Green India/England politics hostage melodrama ("From the Play by William Archer"; about three English people, a married couple and a doctor who crash land in a mythical kingdom bordering India, and they discover that the country's Rajah has three half-brothers awaiting execution in India, and the Rajah and his people believe that a "Green Goddess" has sent those people to them, so they can be held hostage and executed if the half-brothers are executed by India!) starring George Arliss (in his nominated for Best Actor Academy Award role as Rajah of Rukh), Alice Joyce, Ralph Forbes, H.B. Warner, and Ivan Simpson. Note that this movie was released in both a "talking" and a "sound" version, and that is was a remake of one of Arliss' major silent hits (the 1923 movie of the same name). Also note that the same source play served as the basis for the 1943 movie, Adventure in Iraq, although the story was updated to the then present day! Here is an image of the pressbook's covers and two interior pages: Each week I will showcase a different pressbook (or related item) from my collection (so in just 20,000 weeks or so, I will have shared the entire collection with you!). And remember to check out our previous Cool Items of the Week in our Cool Item of the Week archive (which is fully searchable!).
