Van Dyke Royal Canadian Mounted Police Mountie romantic northern-western musical ("Singing sweethearts back again!") starring Jeanette MacDonald (in the title role as Rose Marie), Nelson Eddy, Reginald Owen, Allan Jones, James Stewart (in his second credited role!), Alan Mowbray, and Gilda Gray NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that MGM, being the foremost studio of the 1930s felt they did not need to create wonderful posters for their movies, because they had so many top stars, so often their 1930s posters have simple artwork against a white background with a duotone photo of the top stars! However, they knew that they needed theater owners to book their movies, so they spent quite a bit more money on their pressbooks, often making them close to window card size, with an exact color recreation of the window card image on the cover of the pressbook, and the posters on the back cover in full color, and often a full-color sample herald, "tipped in" to the inside of one of the covers! Condition: fair, NO CUTS. The pressbook is complete and uncut. However, the interiors of MGM pressbooks from this period were printed on a newsprint that was exactly like what was used in newspapers at that time, and it almost always ages terribly, resulting in incredibly brittle insides. The color covers were printed on a better paper, but they tend to chip around the edges. This particular pressbook has some paper loss in the bottom left corner of the covers (and all the pages) and fragile interior pages, so bear that in mind before placing a bid.
