Date Sold 12/20/2022 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Movie Souvenir Program Book (measures 9" x 11 3/4" [23 x 30 cm]; 56 pages) (Learn More) Hell's Angels, the classic 1930 Howard Hughes World War I (WWI) England Royal Flying Corps military airplane aviation pilot romantic love triangle melodrama ("Howard Hughes' Thrilling Air Spectacle"; "Howard Hughes' Amazing Air Spectacle"; "The First Multi-Million Dollar Talking Picture"; "Howard Hughes' thrilling multi-million dollar - air spectacle"; produced by Howard Hughes; about two brothers at Oxford who join the RAF when World War I starts, and they both fall for the same beautiful girl, but when they go off on a bombing mission, they return to find her with yet a third man) starring Jean Harlow, Ben Lyon, James Hall, John Darrow, Lucien Prival, and Douglas Gilmore. Note that filming on this movie originally started in 1927, and it was being filmed as a silent, and Greta Nissen had the lead female role. But the movie took a very long time to make, and by that point, sound had taken over Hollywood, and producer/director Howard Hughes made the unusual decision to entirely re-shoot the movie with sound. And since Greta Nissen had a strong Norwegian accent (which made no difference in silent movies, but obviously was terrible for sound), and since Jean Harlow had come along, Hughes replaced Nissen with Harlow, which was the greatest break of Harlow's career, but heartbreaking for Nissen, who continued in movies without a big break until 1937, when she retired!

Important Added Info: Note that this program is from the world premiere of this classic movie that was held at Grauman's Chinese Theatre on May 27, 1930. We have only previously auctioned one example of it, and that was 8 years ago, when it sold for $266! It has leather covers (and the cover has amazing airplane art embossed in the leather with the title in the upper left) and it has wonderful images and information about the movie, some of which is likely not available anywhere else (see our images of some of the pages). It is one of a remarkable collection of seven world premiere programs, six of which are from the legendary Grauman's Chinese Theatre, we are currently auctioning in seven separate auctions! All of these are extremely rare, but all seven will have new owners when these auctions end! Also note that we have pictured the front cover and one or more interior 2-page spreads from this program. You can use these images to determine the exact condition of it from our super-sized image, but realize that there are some other pages you are not seeing. Condition: good. The leather cover has staining at the bottom. There was a glassine sheet on the inside of the front cover, which is missing, and it discolored the first interior page, and there is also a tattered glassine sheet inside the back cover, which discolored the back page. Other than these defects, the book is in pretty nice condition (see our many images). Learn More about condition grades
