Date Sold 12/14/2017 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Campaign Booklet (measures 9 1/2" x 12 1/2" [24 x 32 cm]; 13 pages) (Learn More) Columbia Pictures 1938, the campaign booklet sent to theater-owners to encourage them to book Columbia movies. Note that this unusual booklet is actually a die-cut folder. It has an opening in the cover so you can see "Worth While Pictures" on the first interior page, and instead of having bound pages, it has a flap on the inside of the folder that contains 13 loose pages, each of which is an advertisement for a different movie, including Blondie (the first live action adaptation of the comic strip), Only Angels Have Wings (when it was known as "Plane #4"), Frank Capra's You Can't Take It With You, and several others, including a great one for Golden Boy, which shows Jean Arthur as the star, and doesn't mention the male lead (who we all know turned out to be William Holden, in his first movie, and Jean Arthur ended up replaced by Barbara Stanwyck). There is also a full page for a movie called "The Lost Atlantis", which has an incredible image of Atlantis sinking beneath the sea with lots of people and some dinosaurs drowning, and we know that this movie was never made, because it has a fascinating history! Columbia proposed to have this movie made as an epic similar to "The Lost World", and it was going to have a budget of $1 million, and there was even a sequel proposed called "Prince of Atlantis". Obviously, because this ad exists, we know this movie made it deep into production, but we could not find out why it was abandoned (and we found that there was supposedly going to be a comic book based on the movie, which would have predated Superman, but apparently when the movie was abandoned, so was the comic book). Note that because the interior pages of this booklet are loose, it is impossible to say whether there might have originally been more than 13 pages. 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. Important Added Info: Note that we have never before auctioned this really cool campaign booklet! Condition: very good. The outer folder has many scuffs in the solid black areas. The interior pages are in really nice condition! Learn More about condition grades
