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!

So below is the pressbook from The Night is Young, the 1935 Dudley Murphy romantic musical melodrama ("The prince and the chorus girl!"; "Music and romance!") starring Ramon Novarro, Evelyn Laye, Charles Butterworth, Una Merkel, Edward Everett Horton, Donald Cook, and Rosalind Russell (in her fourth movie, and she is very low billed - she appears 9th in billing in the pressbook, and it would be another year before she achieved stardom!)

Here is an image of the pressbook's covers and an interior spread:

 

Each week 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 of the Week in our Cool Item of the Week archive (which is fully searchable!).
