eMoviePoster.comCool Item Of the Week: Tess of the Storm Country (1922) pressbookReturn to Cool Item of the Month Archive Added: 09/25/2017 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! This week, I have the pressbook from Tess of the Storm Country, the 1922 John S. Robertson silent rich-man-vs-poor-squatters romantic melodrama ("From the novel by Grace Miller White by Arrangement with Adolph Zukor"; about a wealthy man who builds a fancy house on top of a hill, and a group of poor people live at the bottom of the hill, and one of the poor people is a beautiful young lady, and she must fend off the rough men who desire her, while falling in love with the rich man's son and caring for the rich man's illegitimate daughter) starring Mary Pickford, Lloyd Hughes, Gloria Hope, David Torrence, and Forrest Robinson. Note that the novel this movie was based on was written in 1909. In 1914, Mary Pickford starred in an adaptation of the book that was pretty faithful to it. In this movie, a remake from eight years later, the plot of the movie was changed from that of the source novel, no doubt to make it better fit now major star Mary Pickford! Here is an image of the front cover and two interior poster
pages: Each week I will showcase a different pressbook (or related item) from my collection (so in just 25,000 weeks or so, I will have shared the entire collection with you!).
