Important Added Info: Note that we have never before auctioned this pressbook! Note that MGM, being the foremost studio of the 1930s felt they did not need to create wonderful posters for their movies, because they had so many top stars, so often their 1930s posters have simple artwork against a white background with a duotone photo of the top stars! However, they knew that they needed theater owners to book their movies, so they spent quite a bit more money on their pressbooks, often making them close to window card size, with an exact color recreation of the window card image on the cover of the pressbook, and the posters on the back cover in full color, and often a full-color sample herald, "tipped in" to the inside of one of the covers! However, they economized on the interior on these large pressbooks and used newsprint for the interior pages, which in almost every case has aged greatly and is fragile, if not brittle (see below for the exact condition of this pressbook). Condition: good to very good, NO CUTS. The pressbook itself is complete and uncut, but the herald is missing around 3/4 of the front cover. There are small tears down the spine of the covers, which are folded across the middle. The interior pages that are printed on pulp paper are not nearly as fragile as many MGM pressbooks of this era, and the large ad section is printed on much better quality paper and is in nice condition.
