An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Pressbook (pb; measures 15 1/2" x 21" [39 x 53 cm]; 10 pages) (Learn More) Hoopla (also released as "Hoop-La"), the 1933 Frank Lloyd pre-Code romantic comedy melodrama ("From a play by John Kenyon Nicholson"; about a "hula dancer" in a carnival, who, on a bet, tries to seduce the carnival boss' son, and ends up falling hard in love with him) starring Clara Bow (in her final movie!), Preston Foster, Richard Cromwell, Herbert Mundin, James Gleason, and Minna Gombell. Note that this was a remake of the part-talkie movie from 1928, "The Barker", and those who have seen the movie say that Bow is sensational and super sensual in this, her final movie. She had the gift of making the audience like her, even though she played a character with no morals, and her hula dancing in the movie also receives rave reviews. Most fans say that had she not had her serious personal problems, she would have likely been a major rival to Jean Harlow for roles like these throughout the 1930s!

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. The front cover is missing. Learn More about condition grades
