eMoviePoster.comCool Item Of the Month: Trailin' West pressbookReturn to Cool Item of the Month Archive Added: 04/11/2022 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 Trailin' West, the 1936 Noel M. Smith Civil War era singing cowboy western melodrama (about a U.S. government agent who is sent by President Lincoln to stop outlaws who have taken over a town and are hurting the war effort, but he is ambushed and loses his papers, and he is captured and tried as a spy, but there is a second secret agent who is working undercover, but must save him) starring Dick Foran ("The Singing Cowboy"), Paula Stone, William 'Wild Bill' Elliott (billed as "Gordon Elliot"), Addison Richards, Robert Barrat (as Abraham Lincoln), and Joseph Crehan. Note that it may seem really odd that they were able to work songs into this movie, but Dick Foran had become famous as "The Singing Cowboy", and so they had scenes where he sang a song at the White House for President Lincoln, and also for his girlfriend! Here are images of the front, back, and two interior 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!).
