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 Cocktail Hour, the 1933 Victor Schertzinger women's liberation romantic melodrama ("She was a celebrity... but one moment in the arms of a man made her a WOMAN!"; "She was intoxicated with love!"; "She drank too deeply from the cup of life!"; about a successful female poster artist who decides that women should be as free as men to "play around", and she leaves New York City to go to Paris, where she has affairs with a creepy Englishman and a French Prince, and one of them is murdered, and because she has to "pay" for being "liberated", she takes the rap for the real murderer) starring Bebe Daniels, Randolph Scott, Jessie Ralph, Sidney Blackmer, Barry Norton, and Muriel Kirkland

Here is an image of the pressbook's cover and an interior page:

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!).
