An Original Vintage German Film Program (measures 9" x 12" [23 x 30 cm]; 8 pages) (Learn More) The Canary Murder Case, the 1929 Malcolm St. Clair & Frank Tuttle detective mystery crime thriller ("From the novel by S.S. Van Dine"; Louise Brooks plays the "canary" who is the showgirl who gets murdered early in the movie; the movie was shot as a silent and then had to be re-shot as a sound movie, and Brooks was in Europe and refused to return to provide the voice for her part, which was a major part of why she was pretty much blacklisted in Hollywood after that) starring William Powell (as Philo Vance), James Hall, Louise Brooks, Jean Arthur, Charles Lane, and Gustav von Seyffertitz. Note that William Powell first played Philo Vance in 1929's "The Canary Murder Case" and after the character proved very popular, he followed it the next year with "The Greene Murder Case", after which Basil Rathbone took over the role that same year in "The Bishop Murder Case". After Powell played Vance again in "The Benson Murder Case" (which was also made in a Spanish language version with an entirely different case), he then played him one more time in "The Kennel Murder Case" in 1933, but the character also appeared in ten more movies between 1934 and 1947, with other actors in the lead roles.

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: very good. The program was very lightly partially folded across the middle at one time. There is a stain in the bottom left of the cover in the background area. Otherwise, the program is in surprisingly nice condition! Learn More about condition grades
