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 Girl From Woolworth's, the 1929 William Beaudine rags-to-riches romantic musical comedy (about a pretty girl who works in the music department at Woolworth's in New York City, and she is required to sing while doing her job, and she catches the eye of a Broadway producer and becomes a musical comedy star on Broadway) starring Alice White, Charles Delaney, Rita Flynn, Wheeler Oakman, and Bert Moorhouse. Note that Woolworth's was the original "5 & 10" store ("the five and dime"), meaning that everything in the store was priced at 5 cents and 10 cents, and it became synonymous with something being inexpensive!.

Here is an image of the front cover and back cover poster 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 now fully searchable!).
