An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Pressbook (pb; measures 11" x 15" [28 x 38 cm]; 32 pages) (Learn More) Tarzan's New York Adventure, the 1942 Richard Thorpe ape-man-in-New-York-City kidnapping crime action adventure thriller ("You never saw anything like it!"; "Based upon the characters created by Edgar Rice Burroughs") starring Johnny Weissmuller (in the title role as Tarzan), Maureen O'Sullivan (as Jane), Johnny Sheffield (as "Boy"), Virginia Grey, Charles Bickford, Paul Kelly, Chill Wills, Cheeta (the chimpanzee!), and Eddie Kane NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that we were recently consigned a truly remarkable collection of pressbooks (the first 37 were auctioned in our December Major Auction, and the most expensive one sold for $17,500!). Now we continue to auction pressbooks from this collection, which is absolutely the finest collection of pressbooks we have ever been consigned. In this set of auctions, we are solely auctioning larger pressbooks, mostly 14" x 17" or larger. Some of them were folded at one time, but they were stored unfolded for many years, so we left them unfolded, and unless the new owner requests otherwise, we will send them unfolded, because re-folding them would likely lessen the condition. Many of these are ones we have either never auctioned before or only once auctioned before, sometimes many years ago. These were collected decades ago, which was the only time that many of these could be found, and after these auctions are over it may be years (or decades!) before some of these are offered again. They ARE that rare! Note that pressbooks from the 1930s can't be found in great condition, and some of them are printed on newsprint, and are hard to find in even lesser condition. We have many images from each pressbook. We have given each an overall grade, and ask that you look at our images to get a good sense of the condition of that pressbook, because, since they have many pages, it would take forever to describe their condition in detail. However, EVERY one of these pressbooks is complete and uncut! Note that we have never before auctioned this pressbook! Also note that this pressbook was created during the time when MGM (likely in a cost-cutting measure) stopped printing elaborate full-color covers for their pressbooks, and instead solely created several newsprint sections for each movie. It is difficult to know on such movies how many sections were originally created, but there were usually three of them, and if all three are present, then the pressbook is likely complete. Condition: good, NO CUTS. Note that this pressbook was created during the time when MGM (likely in a cost-cutting measure) stopped printing elaborate full-color covers for their pressbooks, and instead solely created several newsprint sections for each movie. It is difficult to know on such movies how many sections were originally created, but there were usually three of them, and if all three are present, then the pressbook is likely complete. In the case of this pressbook, only one section is present (and it is uncut), but, as always, it is very fragile, because it is printed on newsprint. In addition, this one is REALLY strange because many of the pages are single-sided and are on a heavier-than-normal paper stock, which might have been the only paper they could get.
