As many of you know, I, Bruce Hershenson, owner of eMoviePoster.com, have collected pressbooks (and related movie paper like studio yearbooks) for over 30 years, and I have the world's foremost collection of such material. I thought I would share one item with you each week, the type of items you almost surely have never seen before, and which might not come up for sale for DECADES!

So below is the pressbook from Henry King's She Goes to War, the 1929 Henry King World War I (WWI) military romantic comedy melodrama ("From the Red Book Story by Rupert Hughes"; a preposterous story of a society woman who goes to France during World War I to see her boyfriend, and when he is a coward on the battlefield, she wears his uniform in his place and saves everyone in his regiment!) starring Eleanor Boardman, John Holland, Al St. John, Edmund Burns, Alma Rubens, Glen Walters, and Evelyn Hall. Note that this was a silent movie with a few talking sequences.

Here is an image of the pressbook's covers and two interior pages:

   

Each week I will showcase a different pressbook (or related item) from my collection (so in just 20,000 weeks or so, I will have shared the entire collection with you!). And remember to check out our previous Cool Items of the Week in our Cool Item of the Week archive (which is fully searchable!).
