An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Program Book (measures 9" x 12"; 12 pages) (Learn More) The Thief of Bagdad, the classic 1924 Raoul Walsh silent Arabian Nights romantic action adventure fantasy thriller ("'He will steal your heart away!'"; from the story by Achmed Abdullah; about a thief in ancient Arabia, who poses as a Prince to win the hand of a Princess, but when he does, he confesses to her, and he is flogged and thrown out; he enters a contest to win her hand, but he must go on an extremely dangerous journey to win it!) starring Douglas Fairbanks Sr. (in the title role as The Thief of Bagdad), Snitz Edwards, Charles Belcher, Julanne Johnston (as The Princess), Sojin, Anna May Wong, and Noble Johnson (as The Indian Prince). Note that there is a 1940 movie of the same name which borrows elements of the plot of this movie, but is really not a remake (although both movies are really wonderful and are both "classics"!). Finally, note that Mitchell Leisen (well regarded director of 1930s and 1940s romantic comedies) did the wonderful costumes for this movie! He had started as a costume designer in 1921, and in 1922, he did the costumes for Fairbanks' Robin Hood, and after doing the costumes for this movie, he also became an art director, which led to his first directing assignment in 1933!

Murray Breen Important Added Info: Note that this program book was sold to theatergoers who saw this movie in 1924 and wanted a souvenir of the movie. It sold at the time for 25 cents, which was quite a bit of money in 2009 dollars (at the time, the average working man only made roughly 25 cents an hour!).

There are some smudges and faint stains on the covers and 2/3 of the spine is cleanly separated (on the covers only). Other than the above, the program book is in pretty nice condition!
