Reeves Eason Arabian desert adventure serial ("A Columbia Chapter Play"; "Flashing cutlasses doom the enemies of the hawk!"; "The Hawk dare all in a battle to the finish on the desert!"; "Cheer the hero of 1000 desert adventures!"; "More serial excitement than you ever dreamed of!"; "The Hawk wins out in a daring, death-defying ruse!"; "Screen Play by Sherman Lowe, Leslie Swabacker, Jack Stanley and Leighton Brill") starring Gilbert Roland, Mona Maris, Egon Brecher, I. Stanford Jolley, Frank Lackteen, and Kermit Maynard. Note that James Ellison was supposed to star in this serial, and posters were printed with him as the star, but shortly before filming began, he was replaced by Gilbert Roland. While some posters with Ellison credited (mainly three-sheet and six-sheet posters) had already been sent to theaters, all remaining posters which had already been printed had a snipe added that covered the Ellison credit with Roland's, and existing pressbooks were destroyed. We have only seen a single three-sheet poster with Ellison billed, and two chapter 1 one-sheet which were sniped. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Artist: Glenn Cravath Important Added Info: Note that when studios would prepare pressbooks they would often include a sample of the herald. Most often, the herald is no longer still with the pressbook. Sometimes, the herald by itself will sell for almost as much as the rest of the entire pressbook! This pressbook contains the original herald that was included with it, and it is pictured next to the pressbook below. Also note that we have provided an image of the front and back covers of 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! Given that theater owners purchased pressbooks partly in order to create their newspaper advertising, and quite frequently cut them up for that purpose, it is rare to find a pressbook that IS complete and uncut! Condition: very good to fine, NO CUTS. There is some minor wear on the covers. Learn More about condition grades
