eMoviePoster.comCool Item Of the Week: A Bill of Divorcement pressbookReturn to Cool Item of the Week Archive Added: 03/19/2012 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! This week, I have the pressbook from A Bill of Divorcement, the 1932 George Cukor father/daughter family relationship mental illness melodrama ("From the play by Clemence Dane"; about a man who returns home after fifteen years in a mental institution to find that things are not the way they were when he left) starring John Barrymore, Billie Burke (best remembered as The Good Witch Glenda in "The Wizard of Oz", but she was also a major star in the late 1910s, and in 1921, she married Flo Ziegfeld, creator of "The Ziegfeld Follies", and she retired; but the Ziegfelds were wiped out in 1929 in the stock market crash, and she returned to movies with many roles in the 1930s, and she continued acting all the way until 1960!), Paul Cavanagh, Katharine Hepburn (in her very first role, and she was immediately noticed as a major talent!), and David Manners. Here is an image of the front cover and back poster
page: Each week I will showcase a different pressbook (or related item) from my collection (so in just 25,000 weeks or so, I will have shared the entire collection with you!).
