NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography.
Important Added Info: Note that this is one of 13 pressbooks from the 1920s that we were consigned and are auctioning in 13 separate auctions. They are surely incredibly rare, as are almost all 1920s pressbooks. We do not have the time to look up the movies, so each of these has a sparse description just listing the title and stars. If anyone reading this knows more about this movie, please e-mail us and we will post your information on the movie description. Thanks to anyone who replies!

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: fair, NO CUTS. The pressbook is complete and uncut. It was folded across the middle and it was removed from a bound volume and has other condition issues.
