Owned and operated by King Features, Inc"; about international police trying to stop gangsters from gaining access to a new kind of "bulletproof" steel) starring Grant Withers ("as 'Pat O'Hara'"), Catherine Hughes (billed as "Kay Hughes as 'Molly'"), Mickey Rentschler ("as 'Pinky Adams'"), Max Hoffman Jr. ("as 'Selkirk'"), Adrian Morris ("as 'Sam'"), Frank Lackteen ("as 'Tahata'"), Dick Botiller ("as 'Zutta'"), Leonard Lord ("as 'Franklin'"), Gordon Hart ("as 'Harrison'"), Monte Montagu ("as 'Pollard'"), Silver Wolf ("as 'Irish'"), and Wheeler Oakman NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that we have only previously auctioned two examples of this pressbook, and one of those examples has now been reconsigned to us, so this is still only one of two examples we have ever auctioned! Also, note that not only does this pressbook include a 4-page supplement, but the theater that was sent this pressbook was also sent three stills showing poster images, which are included with the pressbook and supplement (see our images). Also note that pressbooks were prepared prior to a movie being released. Often, changes would be made in a movie advertising campaign (billing of actors, different images, etc.), and the theaters would print up special supplements that they would send out with the pressbooks that had already been printed. These supplements are very rare, far more rare than the pressbooks themselves! Some pressbooks would have no supplements, some would have one, and some would have several. Also note that we have provided an image of the front and back covers of this pressbook, 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: very good, NO CUTS. The pressbook is complete and uncut. It was folded across the middle. Learn More about condition grades
