Description

Paramount pictures 1926-27 campaign book. (Paramount, 1926) Extraordinary full-color fully illustrated distributor's campaign book for the upcoming 1926-1927 Paramount Pictures proposed film line-up, to entice advance booking by theater owners. (34) double-sided 12 x 16 in. card-stock loose leaves (originally string-bound in margin punch-holes) most with exceptional and unique campaign art (often too racy for general publicity), any one of which could be handsomely displayed as an individual poster. Highlights include: Metropolis, Aloma of the South Seas, Beau Geste, Casey at the Bat, Variety, So's Your Old Man, Moon of Israel, Old Ironsides, etc., and feature displays for Harold Lloyd, Erich von Stroheim, Gloria Swanson, W.C. Fields, and much more. Covers are presumed missing, and original page count is unknown, though plethora of remaining beautifully rendered and colored ad displays is quite overwhelming. Very good to fine overall.
