Date Sold 1/27/2019Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical French Movie Pressbook (pb; measures 8 1/2" x 12 1/2" [22 x 32 cm]; 8 pages) (Learn More) Jesse James, the 1927 Lloyd Ingraham silent cowboy western ("Story by Frank M. Clifton", the pseudonym used by Frances Marion!) starring Fred Thomson (in the title role as Jesse James), Nora Lane, Montagu Love, Mary Carr, James Pierce (as Frank James), and Harry Woods (as Bob Ford). Note that this was the first real film biography of this most notorious outlaw (James' son had appeared in two movies as "Jesse James Jr." in 1921, but they were not biographies). The next time this outlaw would appear on screen would be in 1939, where Tyrone Power Jr. played him! Note that Fred Thomson, who played the lead role, was a gigantic western star of the 1920s, but a year after making this movie, he stepped on a nail, got tetanus and died, and sadly, he is almost completely forgotten today. Also note that Frances Marion used a pseudonym for her screen credit for the screenwriting of this movie (perhaps that was because she was married to star Fred Thomson and didn't want to be accused of nepotism). Also, note that the "Biographer and Technical adviser" was Jesse E. James, who was the sole surviving son of the famous outlaw. Note that this is a "lost" film, which means that no surviving copies are thought to exist. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Artist: R. Houy Important Added Info: Note that, unlike later French pressbooks, this French pressbook is much like a U.S. pressbook and DOES include poster images. Note that we have provided an image of the front and back covers of this pressbook (if the back cover is not the poster page, we photographed the interior poster page), 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 French pressbook is complete and uncut! Given that theater owners received 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! Condition: very good, NO CUTS. The covers are separated at the spine, but otherwise, the pressbook is in nice condition! Learn More about condition grades
