An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Pressbook (pb; measures 12" x 15" [30 x 38 cm]; 28 pages) (Learn More) This Way Please, the 1937 Robert Florey movie-making stage acting romantic musical ("Based on a story by Maxwell Shane and Bill Thomas"; there is a plot about a romance between Grable and Rogers, but it is merely an excuse to showcase many excellent stage performers!) starring Charles 'Buddy' Rogers, Betty Grable, Ned Sparks, Jim Jordan, Marian Jordan (billed as "Fibber McGee and Molly"), Porter Hall, Lee Bowman, Mary Livingstone (real-life wife of Jack Benny, who made a few movies, and appeared on his long-running radio and TV series; in her one and only appearance without her husband), and Rufe Davis (known as "The Human Sound Effects Machine", performing his specialty on-screen!) NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that we have only previously auctioned one example of this pressbook, and that was 21 years ago! 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! Condition: good, 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. This particular pressbook was removed from a bound volume and thick tape was put down the spine of the covers. Learn More about condition grades
