An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Herald (measures 5 1/4" x 6 3/4" [13 x 17 cm]; 4 pages) (Learn More)

Grass: A Nation's Battle for Life, the 1925 Merian C. Cooper & Ernest B.Schoedsack silent Iran cattle herd documentary ("Featuring fifty thousand people"; "Half a million cattle") featuring Merian C. Cooper, Ernest B. Schoedsack, Marguerite Harrison, Haidar Khan, and Lufta. Note that this is a legendary documentary, not so much for what it shows (although it apparently was an excellent documentary!), but because it was created by Merian C. Cooper and Ernest B.Schoedsack. Schoedsack had created some documentaries in the late 1910s, but his career really took off when he joined with Cooper for this movie. The acclaim this movie received led them to film another documentary, Chang, two years later. The success of that documentary led to Cooper becoming a producer at RKO, and after several very successful movies that he produced and Schoedsack directed, including The Four Feathers and The Most Dangerous Game, the pair teamed up for one of the most successful movies of all time, King Kong, in 1933. It is unlikely that much movie paper was created for this, their first documentary, and any movie paper from it is incredibly scarce!

Important Added Info: Note that ANY movie paper from this movie is incredibly rare. We have only previously auctioned a glass slide and a few stills from this movie, and NO other movie paper, until we received this herald!
