eMoviePoster.comCool Item Of the Week: A Boy of Flanders pressbookReturn to Cool Item of the Week Archive Added: 04/02/2012 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 A Boy of Flanders, the 1924 Victor Schertzinger silent juvenile orphan family relationship melodrama ("Adapted from Ouida's 'A Dog of Flanders'"; "Produced under supervision of Jack Coogan, Sr."; about a young Dutch boy who is orphaned, and the daughter of the richest man in town is the only one kind to him, but her father does all he can to drive the boy away) starring Jackie Coogan (best remembered for playing the title role in Charlie Chaplin's "The Kid" and starring as "Uncle Fester" in TV's "The Addams Family"), Nigel De Brulier, Lionel Belmore, Nell Craig, and Jeanne Carpenter. Note that in the movie, the orphan boy is helped greatly by a dog, and the part of the dog was played by "Teddy", who had appeared in many Mack Sennett comedies. Here is an image of the front cover and back poster
page: 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!).
