(Learn More) The Band Plays On, the 1934 Russell Mack college football sports romantic melodrama ("It's great to be in love!") starring Robert Young, Stuart Erwin, Leo Carillo, Ted Healy (most famous as the person who started The Three Stooges; they were first billed as "Ted Healy and his Stooges"; he let them go on their own, hiring replacement "Stooges", but that did not work out well at all!), Betty Furness, Preston Foster, and Russell Hardie 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: poor, WITH CUTS. The pressbook has a cut on page 7. 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 is folded across the middle and partially separated on that fold, and it has paper loss around the edges of the covers and incredibly fragile interior pages, so bear that in mind before placing a bid.
