An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Pressbook (pb; measures 12" x 17 3/4" [30 x 45 cm]; 8 pages) (Learn More) Together We Live, the 1935 Willard Mack anti-Socialist anti-labor-union family relationship melodrama ("One man's family! Fighting! Loving! Hating! A new generation... crushing his ideals... mocking his standards... until a bombshell of trouble made them cry out... Together We Live"; "With an all-star cast") starring Willard Mack, Ben Lyon, Esther Ralston, Sheila Bromley, Hobart Bosworth, and Wera Engles. Note that this was a VERY unusual movie. Star/writer/director Willard Mack had been a silent actor in the early 1910s, who became a screenwriter, and wrote many movies in the 1920s and 1930s. This was apparently his "Citizen Kane", as, like Orson Welles, he wrote it, directed it, and starred in it. But the movie was severely outdated in that its plot seemed more set at the turn of the 20th century, with sons of a Civil War veteran being accused of being Socialist, because they support workers joining a labor union and being able to strike, something that was a major issue in the 1890s. One wonders if Mr. Mack didn't write this story decades earlier, and then he finally got the chance to make it, and he didn't bother to update it! One also wonders how much of a release this movie had, since, other than a single pressbook, we have never seen any movie paper from it whatsoever! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that first release 1935 movie paper from this movie is incredibly rare. We have never auctioned a single movie paper item from this movie until we received this pressbook! Also 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 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. There is a tear in the spine in the upper left that extends into all pages, and there is tape over that area. Learn More about condition grades
