Campus Confessions (released in England as "Fast Play"), the 1938 George Archainbaud college university basketball sports romantic comedy ("The brightest, fastest show of the season...!"; "Original Story and Screen Play by Lloyd Carrigan and Erwin Gelsey"; a wacky story of a college that has one great basketball player, but still loses every game because the rest of the team is dreadful, but then a rich student finds he can become popular if he can learn to play basketball, so he hires the great player to come to his father's mansion with the team, and the great player coaches them all!; they become good enough to win the championship, but then the great player is suspended for failing math, but then, in the championship game, in the third quarter, the great player is given an oral math exam, which he passes, and he goes into the game and scores 24 points in the fourth quarter and they win!) starring Betty Grable, Eleanore Whitney, William Henry, Fritz Feld, John Arledge, Thurston Hall, Richard Denning, and Hank Luisetti (real life college basketball player, playing himself and billed as "All-American Basketball Star"!). Obviously Paramount wanted to make the good use of real life basketball star Hank Luisetti, and they crafted the plot around him. They also top-billed pretty young starlettes Betty Grable and Eleanore Whitney, but neither one had a lot to do in the movie. The romantic lead was William Henry, and this could have been his "big break", but that didn't work out, although he continued on in small roles in many movies for decades!

Important Added Info: Note that the National Screen Service offered 30x40s on almost every movie in the 1930s and 1940s, but VERY few theaters ordered them (surely because they cost many times what a one-sheet cost, due to the heavier paper; we have seen in pressbooks where a one-sheet was ten cents and a 30x40 was $1.50, so surely hardly any theaters ordered them at all!). Very few 30x40s survive from ANY movies from the mid 1940s and earlier, and ones from the 1930s are virtually non-existent. We have only previously auctioned three 30x40s from ANY 1930s movies! Now, we have been consigned a remarkable find of four 30x40s from 1938, and we are currently auctioning them in four separate auctions. So that means we are currently auctioning more 1930s 30x40s at this time than we have in the entire past thirty years, and we might not have any more for years to come! Note that because this poster was printed on a pretty heavy stock, it can't be folded or rolled and must be sent in a large flat package that measures approximately 32" x 42". Please bear this added expense in mind before bidding on this poster.

Note that this item needs to be shipped in an oversized flat package. Most of these items absolutely can only be sent in flat packages, and could not possibly be rolled into a tube. Some of them might SEEM like they could be rolled in a tube, like a half-sheet, but they can't. The reason these items are in this auction is specifically because they CAN'T be rolled (because rolling any of them would damage them, even if they somehow can be rolled). So please bear in mind that this item must be sent in a LARGE flat package (the size of the package will depend on the size of the item when ready for shipping), and bear this added expense in mind before placing a bid on it. IN THE CASE OF EXTREMELY LARGE FLAT ITEMS, THE SHIPPING COST WILL BE VERY HIGH, SO PLEASE DO NOT BID WITHOUT THINKING ABOUT THAT ADDED SHIPPING AMOUNT, AND INCLUDE THAT AMOUNT IN WHAT YOU BID (so if you would pay $150, but the shipping is likely $100, then only bid $50). And those who live outside the U.S. and who do not have a U.S. address to ship to SHOULD NOT BID AT ALL ON EXTREMELY LARGE FLAT ITEMS, BECAUSE THEY COST HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS TO SEND OUTSIDE THE U.S.
