Auction History Result 8r0568 HOOPLA pressbook 1933 great images of sexy Clara Bow, pre-Code, very rare! Date Sold 5/13/2021 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Pressbook (pb; measures 15 3/4" x 21 3/4" [40 x 55 cm]; 10 pages) (Learn More) Hoopla (also released as "Hoop-La"), the 1933 Frank Lloyd pre-Code romantic comedy melodrama ("From a play by John Kenyon Nicholson"; about a "hula dancer" in a carnival, who, on a bet, tries to seduce the carnival boss' son, and ends up falling hard in love with him) starring Clara Bow (in her final movie!), Preston Foster, Richard Cromwell, Herbert Mundin, James Gleason, and Minna Gombell. Note that this was a remake of the part-talkie movie from 1928, "The Barker", and those who have seen the movie say that Bow is sensational and super sensual in this, her final movie. She had the gift of making the audience like her, even though she played a character with no morals, and her hula dancing in the movie also receives rave reviews. Most fans say that had she not had her serious personal problems, she would have likely been a major rival to Jean Harlow for roles like these throughout the 1930s! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that we previously auctioned an 8-page pressbook from this movie that was a similar size, but it had no color. It also had fewer posters pictured on the poster mage than this one (which would be 12 pages, except that it is missing its cover, so only 10 pages are present). We think that William Fox made this pressbook for larger theaters and the 8-page pressbook for smaller theaters. If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Also 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: fair, WITH CUTS. The cover is missing. The poster page is present, and much interesting material about the movie, but bear in mind this very significant defect before bidding.
