An Undated (probably 1930s) Re-Release Vintage Theatrical Movie Pressbook (pb; measures 10 1/2" x 16 1/4" [27 x 41 cm]; 4 pages) (Learn More) The Lion Man, the 1936 John P. McCarthy adventure thriller (based on Edgar Rice Burroughs novel "The Lad With the Lion"; "A story of Arabian love & adventure"; sort of a "Tarzan of Arabia", where a young man in an Arab country is taken by his father to meet a sheik, and his father is killed along with his entire party, except for his young son, who is rescued and given to a holy man, who lives with lions; he grows up and decides to avenge his father's death, and he is known by the Arabs as "El Lion", because of his affinity with that species, and by all accounts, this is an excellent movie!) starring Kathleen Burke, Jon Hall (billed under his birth name of "Charles Loucheur"), Richard Carlyle, Ted Adams, and Finis Barton. Note that the movie was filmed in Arizona, which stood in for the Arabian desert. And are there actually lions in the Arabian desert? Such trivia did not matter to Edgar Rice Burroughs! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that we have provided an image of the front and back covers of the pressbook, plus an image of a two-page spread from inside of the pressbook (we do NOT picture any supplements or heralds, if there are any included with this pressbook), 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!
