Cool Item Of the Month: The My Wild Irish Rose pressbook

Return to Cool Item of the Month Archive

Added: 09/22/2025

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 My Wild Irish Rose, the 1922 David Smith silent Ireland romantic melodrama ("Adapted from the famous play, 'The Shaughraun' by Dion Boucicault") starring Pat O'Malley, Helen Howard, Maude Emory, Pauline Starke, Edward Cecil, Mickey Daniels, and "with an all-star cast". Note that this is a "lost" film which means that no surviving copies are thought to exist.

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!).
