An Original 1939 (from the first release of this movie in Spain) Vintage Theatrical Spanish Movie Herald (measures 5 1/2" x 6 1/2" [14 x 17 cm]; 4 pages) (Learn More) The King Steps Out, the 1936 Josef von Sternberg romantic musical ("Grandest of all musical love dramas!"; "Again... That golden voice rings out!..."; "She stole a king on his wedding day!"; "Again her golden voice holds the world breathless in its spell!") starring Grace Moore, Franchot Tone, Walter Connolly, Raymond Walburn, and Elisabeth Risdon. Note that Grace Moore was a major New York opera star starting in 1928 (she was called "The Tennessee Nightingale") who was hired by MGM in 1930 to star in a biography of Jenny Lind called "A Lady's Morals", and there was a French language version as well, where she played the lead, but all the other cast were French people. But neither version was a big hit, and she made one other movie for MGM, and then she returned to the opera. But in 1934, Columbia hired her to make another movie, "One Night of Love", and this was much better received, and she appeared in five more Columbia movies, including this one, directed by Josef von Sternberg, who had moved to Columbia after making his very successful Marlene Dietrich movies for Paramount. Grace Moore was killed in a plane crash in 1947, and a biography of her life was made in 1953, "So This is Love", with Kathryn Grayson playing Grace Moore!

Important Added Info: Note that when Spanish heralds have printing on the back, we picture both sides, but when they are blank on the back, we only picture the front. Please note that Spanish heralds, like U.S. heralds, were printed in very large quantities, and then sent to individual theaters in Spain, and they would sometimes have the backs of them overprinted with their theater name and specific play dates. But because a movie might play in Spain for a period of a year or two (traveling from theater to theater), there is no guarantee that the date overprinted on the back of the herald is the same as the date that the herald was first printed (and the date that the movie first played in Spain). Therefore, we don't list the date overprinted on the back of a herald as the date of the herald unless we know that was when the movie first played in Spain. If we believe the herald was printed earlier, then we use that date. If it is important to you that the date on the herald is the date the movie first opened, then please look at our image of the back of this herald to see if there is a different date printed on it.
