An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Pressbook (pb; measures 9" x 12" [23 x 30 cm]; 8 pages) (Learn More) Custer's Last Stand, the 1936 Elmer Clifton historical Battle of Little Bighorn cowboy western serial ("Based on historical events leading up to Custer's Last Fight"; "Spectacular historical drama") starring Rex Lease, Jack Mulhall, William Farnum, Ruth Mix (daughter of Tom Mix, who appeared in around a dozen movies, starting as a teenager), Lona Andre, Reed Howes, Bobby Nelson, Dorothy Gulliver, Frank McGlynn Jr. (in the title role as General George A. Custer), William Desmond, Helen Gibson (as Calamity Jane), Nancy Caswell, George Chesebro, Josef Swickard, Chief Thundercloud, Ted Adams (as Buffalo Bill), Allen Greer (as Wild Bill Hickok), High Eagle (as Chief Crazy Horse), Howling Wolf (as Chief Sitting Bull), Iron Eyes Cody, and Franklyn Farnum. Note that there was a feature version of this serial which was created by editing the individual chapters into a single film, and both the feature and serial have the same name and were released in 1936. The same one-sheet posters were used to promote the feature and serial, but the serial version had chapter information overprinted onto it (otherwise they are the same poster and even have the same litho numbers). No unique one-sheets were created for the serial chapters, only lobby cards. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: It seems quite possible that this is actually a special promo brochure for this movie, because all of the pages are printed on a high quality paper stock. The back page does have the posters for the movie. If anyone knows if this is a pressbook (or if there was a more traditional pressbook created for this movie), please e-mail us and we will post it here. Note that we have provided an image of the front and back covers of this pressbook, and of course, the winner of this auction will receive the entire single pressbook we are auctioning (plus any supplements or heralds described above)! Also note that this pressbook is complete and uncut! Given that theater owners purchased pressbooks partly in order to create their newspaper advertising, and quite frequently cut them up for that purpose, it is rare to find a pressbook that IS complete and uncut! Condition: very good to fine, NO CUTS. Learn More about condition grades
