An Original Vintage Austrian Film Program (measures 6" x 9" [15 x 23 cm]; 8 pages) (Learn More) The King of Jazz, the 1930 John Murray Anderson musical ("A Universal all Technicolor picture"; produced by Carl Laemmle Jr.) starring Paul Whiteman and His Band, Laura La Plante, John Boles, Glenn Tryon, Jeanette Loff, and "The Sisters G." (Eleanor Gutohrlein and Karla Gutohrlein; a pair of German twins that were brought from Berlin to appear in this movie; they had Louise Brooks-like haircuts and only appeared in four movies). Note that this movie contains a bit of animation done by Walter Lantz, and is the first Technicolor animation ever produced! Also, note that early big studio musicals often featured acts from different European and Spanish-speaking countries which were spliced into the already completed film for foreign language markets. This movie had several different foreign language versions (French, Hungarian, Spanish, etc) but none of them survive today. Bela Lugosi, who had just been hired by Universal to star in Dracula, emceed the Hungarian version and we have seen a single still featuring Lugosi alongside Paul Whiteman.

Important Added Info: Note that we have provided an image of four of the pages of this 8-page program (we did this by opening it and laying it flat and photographing the front and back cover together, and two of the interior pages together). You can see the four of the eight pages, and can well determine the exact condition of it from our super-sized image, but realize that there are four pages you are not seeing. But of course this means that the front cover appears in the top right of our image, but normally, the program would be folded down the center and you would view the cover by itself (and it will be sent folded as was originally intended). Condition: fair. The program was used at a theater that had the premiere of it in Austria, and they unfortunately stenciled a large announcement of the premiere date on the center of the cover of the program. There is pencil writing on the back cover on Whiteman's face. Learn More about condition grades
