An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Pressbook (pb; measures 10 1/2" x 16 1/2" [27 x 42 cm]; 14 pages) (Learn More) Man on the Flying Trapeze (released in England as "The Memory Expert"), the 1935 Clyde Bruckman family relationship slapstick comedy (from a story by Charles Bogle, which was a pseudonym for W.C. Fields) starring W.C. Fields ("The lovable Micawber of 'David Copperfield' and the hilarious skipper of 'Mississippi' in his latest comedy hit"), Mary Brian, Kathleen Howard, Grady Sutton, James Burke, Edward Gargan, and Walter Brennan (as one of the two men who break into Fields' house and get drunk on his moonshine!) NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that we have never before auctioned this pressbook! Note that in December 2021, we were consigned a truly remarkable collection of pressbooks (the first 37 were auctioned in our December Major Auction, and the most expensive one sold for $17,500!). In our regular auctions since, we have auctioned hundreds more from this collection. Now we continue to auction more of these pressbooks, which is absolutely the finest collection of pressbooks we have ever been consigned. In this set of auctions, most of the ones we are auctioning are larger pressbooks, mostly 11" x 15" or larger. Some of them were folded at one time, but they were stored unfolded for many years, so we left them unfolded, and unless the new owner requests otherwise, we will send them unfolded, because re-folding them would likely lessen the condition. Many of these are ones we have either never auctioned before or only once auctioned before, sometimes many years ago. These were collected decades ago, which was the only time that many of these could be found, and after these auctions are over it may be years (or decades!) before some of these are offered again. They ARE that rare! Note that pressbooks from the 1930s are almost never found in great condition, and some of them (especially those printed during World War II, including all the MGM ones from that time) are printed on newsprint, and are hard to find in even lesser condition. We have several images from each pressbook. We have given each an overall grade, and ask that you look at our images to get a good sense of the condition of that pressbook, because, since they have many pages, it would take forever to describe their condition in detail. However, EVERY one of these pressbooks is complete and uncut! Note that Paramount pressbooks at this time were printed on newsprint, and unlike those many studios, they did not have color covers or covers that were on a better quality paper stock. This means that first release Paramount pressbooks from around this time are incredibly scarce, because the newsprint almost always aged in the way that old newspapers do, becoming fragile and brittle, and surely most were thrown out within a few years of being created. Condition: poor to fair, NO CUTS. Note that we solely give an overall grade to these rare pressbooks, and tell you whether it is complete and uncut. However, you can view our multiple images of the covers and the interior pages that should give you a good sense of the pressbook's condition. The pressbook is unbelievably fragile and has chipping and paper loss around the edges of all pages. Learn More about condition grades
