This Week's Cool Item: Diamond Jim pressbookReturn to Cool Item of the Month Archive Added: 05/25/2020 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 this week, the type of items you almost surely have never seen before, and which might not come up for sale for DECADES! This week, I have the pressbook from Diamond Jim the 1935 A. Edward Sutherland historical biographical melodrama (about legendary big money spender Diamond Jim Brady; "Mighty adventure thrill show!"; "The inside expose of a master of women!"; "See... The true story of the life, the loves and intrigues of Lillian Russell! See... The million dollar bribe! See... The unbelievable astounding inside revelation of the flashiest gambler in history!"; written by Preston Sturges, based on the novel 'Diamond Jim Brady' by Parker Morell) starring Edward Arnold (in the title role; "as Diamond Jim"), Jean Arthur, Binnie Barnes (as Lillian Russell), Cesar Romero, Eric Blore, Hugh O'Connell, and Darby Jones. Here is an image of the pressbook's covers and an interior two-page spread: As part of our bi-weekly club email, 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 in our Cool Item of the Week archive (which is fully searchable!).
