An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Pressbook (pb; measures 9" x 12" [23 x 30 cm]; 12 pages) (Learn More) Dame Chance, the 1926 Bertram Bracken silent romantic love triangle melodrama ("From the novel by Frances Nordstrom"; about a rich man who offers a young woman the chance to be his mistress, but she turns him down until her mother needs an operation, and then she agrees; later, she meets a more suitable young man, and her lover gallantly steps aside) starring Robert Fraser, Gertrude Astor, Julanne Johnston, Mary Carr, and David Hartford. Note that the advertising for this movie has a cool gambling motif, with a roulette wheel, but that is metaphorical, referring to the gambling the leading lady does when she takes a lover for financial reasons. The lobby cards have a witch silhouette on them as well, and we don't know why that is! If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that we have provided an image of the front and back covers of the pressbook, plus an image of a two-page spread from inside of the pressbook (we do NOT picture any supplements or heralds, if there are any included with 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!
