A 1937 Re-Release Theatrical Movie Pressbook (pb; measures 12" x 18 1/4" [30 x 46 cm]; 8 pages) (Learn More) Shadows of the Orient, the 1935 Burt P. Lynwood immigrant Asian smuggling gambling romantic crime action melodrama ("Original story by L.E. Heifetz"; Esther Ralston is a socialite who is arrested in Sidney Blackmer's Asian gambling casino; Blackmer gets her out of trouble, but expects her to help him with his immigrant smuggling operation and illegal gambling casino; Regis Toomey is an immigration agent who breaks up Blackmer's schemes and wins Ralston's hand!) starring Esther Ralston, Regis Toomey, J. Farrell MacDonald, Oscar Apfel, and Sidney Blackmer. Note that this movie was made in 1935 and released by Empire Films, but we have never ever seen or heard of any paper from that release (it was reviewed in the Motion Picture Herald in 1936, so it apparently DID get some sort of release somewhere, but it was apparently a very limited release). In 1937, Monogram took the unusual step of releasing it as a brand new movie, with a nice advertising campaign, and the poster we are offering here is the very first we have ever seen from the 1937 Monogram release. Technically, 1937 Monogram items are re-releases, but 1935 Empire Films items don't exist, and they would look completely different from the 1937 release posters.

Important Added Info: Note that we have provided an image of the front and back covers of this pressbook (if the back cover is not the poster page, we photographed the interior poster page), 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 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! Condition: good, NO CUTS. The pressbook is complete and uncut. It was folded across the middle. There are many faint stains and smudges on the back poster page. Learn More about condition grades
