Note that director Ernst Laemmle was Carl Laemmle Sr.'s nephew, and one of many of this relatives that he "brought over" from Germany. Ernst directed many westerns, but after directing this, his only talking feature film, the reviews were so bad that he returned to Germany and directed a few movies for Universal there, but then he retired from the movies in 1930, and passed away in Hollywood in 1950.

Important Added Info: Note that we have only previously auctioned one example of this pressbook, and that example has now been reconsigned to us, so this is still the only example we have ever auctioned!

Also note that this pressbook is complete and uncut! Given that theater owners received 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!
