An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Pressbook (pb; measures 11" x 17 1/4" [28 x 44 cm]; 8 pages) (Learn More) The Case of the Stuttering Bishop, the 1937 William Clemens mystery crime thriller ("Baffling mystery! With thrills galore!"; based on the Perry Mason series of books by Erle Stanley Gardner; about a bishop from Australia who asks Mason to investigate the case of a woman who was wrongly accused of manslaughter 22 years before, and of course, he has a brilliant summation in court where he solves the crime!) starring Ann Dvorak (as Della Street), Donald Woods (as Perry Mason), Anne Nagel, Linda Perry, Veda Ann Borg, Joseph Crehan (as Paul Drake), and "a great cast". Note that Warner Bros. purchased the rights to these characters in 1934, and the first movie in the series was "The Case of the Howling Dog" starring Warren William. William played Mason in three more entries, and then Ricardo Cortez took over in 1936 for "The Case of the Black Cat". This movie was the sixth and final of the series, with Donald Woods in the lead role, and after that, the next Perry Mason on screen would be Raymond Burr in the classic 1960s TV series! Note that Donald Woods went on to appear in lots of B-movies, both in starring and supporting roles, and he called himself the "King of the Bs". NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography.
