An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Pressbook (pb; measures 11 1/4" x 17 1/4" [29 x 44 cm]; 8 pages) (Learn More)

The Singing Kid, the 1936 William Keighley romantic musical melodrama (about a Broadway star who starts to lose his voice and who goes to the country to recuperate, and he meets a talented child singer; Jolson's star was waning at this time, and Warner Bros. loaded the movie with top specialty acts of the day) starring Al Jolson, Sybil Jason (in the title role as the singing kid), Lyle Talbot, Claire Dodd, Edward Everett Horton, Allen Jenkins, the Yacht Club Boys, and Cab Calloway ("and his Band"). Note that this is the movie where Al Jolson sings "I Love to Singa", which was parodied in a memorable Chuck Jones/Tex Avery Warner Bros. cartoon called "I Love to Singa", and starring a baby owl that is born to be a jazz singer!

Important Added Info: Note that we have provided an image of the front and back covers of this pressbook (if the back cover is not the poster page, we photographed the interior poster page), and of course, the winner of this auction will receive the entire single pressbook we are auctioning (plus any supplements or heralds described above)!

Condition: good, WITH CUTS. Only the covers plus four interior pages are present (and there is a cut in one of those two pages, and there are some loose pieces from other pages), so there are surely many missing pages. However, the covers (including the poster page) ARE present (see our images). But please bear this significant defect in mind before placing a bid on this incomplete pressbook.
