This Week's Cool Item: Wandering Papas pressbookReturn to Cool Item of the Month Archive Added: 11/09/2020 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 this 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 Wandering Papas, the 1926 Stan Laurel silent screwball comedy short ("Pathecomedy"; produced by Hal Roach; about a cook for construction workers who is sent off into the words to kill animals and fish for the men's dinner, and he meets a crazy hermit with a pretty daughter) starring Clyde Cook, Oliver Hardy (billed as "Babe Hardy"), Sue O'Neill, Tyler Brooke and Adolph Milar. Note that this was one of twelve movies directed by Stan Laurel, far more famous as one half of the greatest comedy duo, Laurel & Hardy! Laurel directed Hardy in this comedy short, which no doubt was influencial in their joining forces as a comedy team the following year! Here is an image of the pressbook's covers and an interior two-page spread: As part of our bi-weekly club email, 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 in our Cool Item of the Week archive (which is fully searchable!). ![]()
