An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Campaign Book (measures 9 1/2" x 12 1/2" [24 x 32 cm]; 48 pages) (Learn More) Pathe 1928-29, the 1928 Pathe campaign book, featuring upcoming Pathe movies and stars from movies that were planned for production by Pathe in the coming year. The campaign book includes lots of full-color images of ads (both one-page and two-page spreads) for the major upcoming Pathe films including King of Kings (Cecil B. DeMille), The Godless Girl (Cecil B. DeMille), Tenth Avenue, The Red Mark, The Cop (William Boyd), Celebrity (great boxing image!), Show Folks, Power (William Boyd), The Spieler (about circus barkers), Annapolis, three William Boyd features (The Leatherneck, High Voltage, and The Flying Fool), Phyllis Haver (three features, with images of the 24-sheets for all three), Junior Coghlan (two features), Forbidden Love (Lili Damita), Mack Sennett ("20 Super Comedies"), Smitty and His Pals ("From the Famous Cartoon Character Originated by Berndt", with great cartoon art!), Grantland Rice Sportlights, five Pathe serials (with great horror artwork!), Aesop's Film Fables (with great cartoon art by Paul Terry of Farmer Alfalfa!), and much more! Note that many of the pages have signed artwork, by many different (quite talented) artists, and that some of the pages have art by an artist whose signatures we can read include "Paul Terry", "Berndt", "John A. Coughlin", "Fredrick Madan", "Raymond Thayer", and "Laurence Herndon". Note that, because Pathe was wanting to be one of the foremost studios, they prepared a campaign book filled with beautiful full-color artwork! We have included images of the cover of the book and many of the pages (both one and two-page spreads; and we did not make a big effort to find the best ones!). Note that even though this campaign book was sent to many theater owners, it appears that very few examples have survived. I have been a collector of campaign books and related material for many years, and I know for certain that this campaign book is extremely rare! Finally, note that campaign books in general are extremely rare, and the best of them have often sold for hundreds of dollars, and in the case of the very finest, thousands of dollars! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Condition: good to very good. There are stains on the front cover and on the first two interior blank pages. There are two of the interior pages that advertise shorts that are stuck together in the 1" closest to the spine. Otherwise, the book is in pretty nice condition (see our images).
