An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Pressbook (pb; measures 11" x 17" [28 x 43 cm]; 20 pages) (Learn More) Damon Runyon's Little Miss Marker, the 1934 Alexander Hall horse racing gambling romantic tough-guy-whose-heart-melts-because-of-a-little-girl melodrama ("She made these mugs believe in fairies!"; based on the story by Damon Runyon; about a gambler who leaves his young daughter with another gambler as "collateral" on his debt, and then doesn't come back to get her, and the gambler who is "stuck" with the girl grows to love her; this contained a break-out performance by Shirley Temple, who stole the movie at the age of six!) starring Adolphe Menjou (as Sorrowful Jones), Dorothy Dell, Charles Bickford, Shirley Temple, Warren Hymer, and Lynne Overman. This movie co-starred Dorothy Dell in a prominent role. This actress appeared to be on the verge of major stardom, but the following year, she was killed in a car accident, and she was just 19 (click on her name to read more about her). Note that this movie was remade as "Forty Pounds of Trouble" and under the original title of "Little Miss Marker", but without another Shirley Temple, they did not have much success.

Note that in December 2021, we were consigned a truly remarkable collection of pressbooks (the first 37 were auctioned in our December Major Auction, and the most expensive one sold for $17,500!). In our regular auctions since, we have auctioned hundreds more from this collection. Now we approach the END of this collection of these ultra rare pressbooks, which is absolutely the finest collection of pressbooks we have ever been consigned. In this set of auctions, most of the ones we are auctioning are ones that have "cuts" (ads cut out), although we are also auctioning some uncut ones, mostly ones in much lesser condition (see each pressbook's condition to know which are which). THIS IS ONE OF THE PRESSBOOKS THAT HAS ONE OR MORE CUTS, BUT IT IS EXTREMELY RARE, AND AN UNCUT EXAMPLE MAY NOT EXIST! Some of these were folded at one time, but they were stored unfolded for many years, so we left them unfolded, and unless the new owner requests otherwise, we will send them unfolded, because re-folding them would likely lessen the condition. Many of these are ones we have either never auctioned before or only once auctioned before, sometimes many years ago. These were collected decades ago, which was the only time that many of these could be found, and after these auctions are over it may be years (or decades!) before some of these are offered again. They ARE that rare! Note that pressbooks from the 1930s are almost never found in great condition, and some of them (especially those printed during World War II, including all the MGM ones from that time) are printed on newsprint, and are hard to find in even lesser condition. We have several images from each pressbook. We have given each an overall grade, noted how many cuts it has, but beyond that, we ask that you look at our images to get a good sense of the condition of that pressbook, because, since they have many pages, it would take forever to describe their condition in detail. Condition: fair, WITH CUTS. There is a 3" x 4" cut from one interior page. The interior pages are extremely fragile. There is staining and paper loss in the middle left of the cover and some staining around the edges of the back cover, and the covers are separated at the spine. Learn More about condition grades
