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!

This week, I have the pressbook from The Cohens and Kellys in Trouble, the 1933 George Stevens romantic interfaith marriage family relationship comedy (one of the series of movies about an Irish girl who marries a Jewish boy and their difficulties in bringing their families together) starring George Sidney, Charlie Murray, Maureen O'Sullivan (best remembered for her role as "Jane" opposite Johnny Weissmuller in the early sound "Tarzan" movies), Andy Devine, Jobyna Howland, Henry Armetta, and Maude Fulton. Note that this movie not only features a young sexy Maureen O'Sullivan, but it was directed by a very young George Stevens, who spent years in Hollywood directing comedy shorts (from 1930 to 1935), and he directed 30 of them in that time. In 1935, he got his big break directing Katharine Hepburn in "Alice Adams", and his career quickly took off, and he made many extremely memorable Hollywood movies, including "Gunga Din", "Swing Time", "The More the Merrier", "A Place in the Sun", and of course, "Shane" and "Giant"!

Each week I will showcase a different pressbook (or related item) from my collection (so in just 25,000 weeks or so, I will have shared the entire collection with you!).
