(Learn More) The House of Rothschild, the 1934 Maude T. Howell & Alfred L. Werker family relationship biography financial banking historical melodrama ("He stood alone against millions!"; based on the novel 'The Rise of the House of Rothschild' by Count Egon Caesar Corti; nominated for the Best Picture Academy Award; about the famous 19th century bank owned by Jewish brothers; naturally, the makers of the movie added an irrelevant romantic subplot to try to widen the appeal of the movie, and Boris Karloff makes a notable appearance as a very anti-Semitic villain) starring George Arliss (in a dual role as both Mayer Rothschild, the father, and Nathan Rothschild, his eldest son), Boris Karloff, Loretta Young, Robert Young, C. Aubrey Smith, and Reginald Owen NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that we have only previously auctioned two examples of this pressbook, and the last one was 7 years ago (and that example had cuts)! Also note that this is one of a remarkable collection of 47 mostly United Artists pressbooks (mostly from the 1930s) that came from the collection of a very longtime collector who recently passed away. Pressbooks like these are almost all incredibly rare and almost never change hands. This is a wonderful opportunity to obtain one or more of these extremely rare pressbooks, all of which are uncut, and several of them have rare supplements or heralds (and if they do, that is noted above). Note that pressbooks were prepared prior to a movie being released. Often, changes would be made in a movie advertising campaign (billing of actors, different images, etc.), and the theaters would print up special supplements that they would send out with the pressbooks that had already been printed. These supplements are very rare, far more rare than the pressbooks themselves! Some pressbooks would have no supplements, some would have one, and some would have several. Also note that we have provided an image of the front and back covers of this pressbook, and of course, the winner of this auction will receive the entire single pressbook we are auctioning (plus any supplements or heralds described above)! Also note that this pressbook is complete and uncut! Given that theater owners received pressbooks partly in order to create their newspaper advertising, and quite frequently cut them up for that purpose, it is rare to find a pressbook that IS complete and uncut! Condition: good to very good, NO CUTS. Note that we solely give an overall grade to these rare pressbooks, and tell you whether it is complete and uncut. However, you can view our multiple images of the covers and the interior pages that should give you a good sense of the pressbook's condition. Learn More about condition grades
