As many of you know, I, Bruce Hershenson, owner of eMoviePoster.com, have collected pressbooks (and related movie paper like studio yearbooks) for over 30 years, and I have the world's foremost collection of such material. I thought I would share one item with you each week, the type of items you almost surely have never seen before, and which might not come up for sale for DECADES!

So below is the pressbook from Dinky, the 1935 Howard Bretherton and D. Ross Lederman juvenile family relationship military school crime melodrama ("Jackie's back -- in young America's 'Flirtation Walk'!"; about a teen boy whose mother goes to prison, and she conceals it from him by sending him to military school, and then he drops out of the military school and conceals that from his mother by sending her letters pretending to still be in school!) starring Jackie Cooper (in the title role as Dinky), Mary Astor, Roger Pryor, Henry Armetta, and Betty Jean Hainey

Here is an image of the pressbook's covers and two interior pages:

   

Each week I will showcase a different pressbook (or related item) from my collection (so in just 20,000 weeks or so, I will have shared the entire collection with you!). And remember to check out our previous Cool Items of the Week in our Cool Item of the Week archive (which is fully searchable!).
