But she couldn't exchange her savage heart for that of a white girl!"; an outrageously politically incorrect movie with a wildly implausible plot!; about the son of a wealthy family whose fiancee commits suicide, and he blames his family, because they disapproved of her, and through implausible circumstances, he ends up meeting a beautiful Native American woman, and he marries her to get "revenge" on his family, including presenting her to his family in full Indian garb at her coming out party, and that's just the beginning of this wacky movie!) starring Sylvia Sidney (playing a Native American Indian girl!), Gene Raymond, H.B. Warner, Laura Hope Crews, Juliette Compton, Monroe Owsley, Charlotte Granville, and Ann Sheridan (in her first year of movies; billed as "Lou Sheridan"). Note that this is a remake of the 1920 movie starring Mabel Julienne Scott in the lead role. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that we have never before auctioned this pressbook! Note that in December 2021, we were consigned a truly remarkable collection of pressbooks (the first 37 were auctioned in our December Major Auction, and the most expensive one sold for $17,500!). In our regular auctions since, we have auctioned hundreds more from this collection. Now we continue to auction more of these pressbooks, which is absolutely the finest collection of pressbooks we have ever auctioned. In this April Major Auction, we are auctioning 32 REALLY excellent and extremely rare ones, "the best of the best", mostly 11" x 15" or larger. Some of them were folded at one time, but they were stored unfolded for many years, so we left them unfolded, and unless the new owner requests otherwise, we will send them unfolded, because re-folding them would likely lessen the condition. These were collected decades ago, which was the only time that many of these could be found, and after these auctions are over it may be years (or decades!) before some of these are offered again. They ARE that rare! Note that pressbooks from the 1930s are almost never found in great condition, and some of them (especially those printed during World War II, including all the MGM ones from that time) are printed on newsprint, and are hard to find in even lesser condition. We have several images from each pressbook. We have given each an overall grade, and ask that you look at our images to get a good sense of the condition of that pressbook, because, since they have many pages, it would take forever to describe their condition in detail. However, EVERY one of these pressbooks is complete and uncut! Condition: 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
