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 The First Born, the 1921 Colin Campbell silent San Francisco California romantic love triangle melodrama ("The Greatest Chinese Drama ever produced"; "Robertson-Cole Super-Special"; set in San Francisco's Chinatown, about a Chinese man whose love is sold into slavery to a rich merchant, and then he marries someone else, and the merchant causes the death of his first born child) starring Sessue Hayakawa, Helen Jerome Eddy, "Sonny Boy" Ward, Goro Kino, and Marie Paris

Here are images of the front, back, and 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!).
