(Learn More) The Meanest Gal in Town, the 1934 Russell Mack small town America romantic comedy ("You'll lose your bridge work laughing at..."; about a famous actress who becomes stranded in a small town, and not surprisingly, she both falls in love and changes the life of many of the residents) starring Zasu Pitts, Pert Kelton, El Brendel, James Gleason, Richard 'Skeets' Gallagher, and Edward McWade. Note that this movie had a most unusual tagline "You'll lose your bridge work laughing at...", and to those who don't know, "bridge work" is a form of dentures, which certainly would seem that they were aiming this movie at older folk (although back then, lots of younger adults lost their teeth early, due to poor dental hygiene)! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: 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 purchased 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: good to very good, NO CUTS. The pressbook is complete and uncut and it is folded across the middle. The covers have separated at the spine and some of the interior pages have come loose.
