c.1925 for 1926 season. 12.25x16.25” embossed hard cover w/foil endpapers and 92 slick and matte paper pages. Highlights include full page ads for: Friz Lang "Metropolis", D.W. Griffith "Sorrows of Satan" (4 pages), Erich Von Stroheim "The Wedding March", W.C. Fields "So’s Your Old Man", James Cruze "The Covered Wagon", Dorothy Gish Nell Gwyn, "Old Ironsides" (4 pages), Beau Geste, "The Greatest Show On Earth"(4 pages). Other full page star ads include: Harold Lloyd (4 pages), Gloria Swanson, Pola Negri, Eddie Cantor, Wallace Beery. Also includes small photos of Clara Bow, Louise Brooks, William Powell. Contents were originally string bound. String is no longer present but will allow the winning bidder to frame individual sheets if desired. Trace of moisture has caused bottom half of front side of two sided Von Stroheim “Wedding March” ad to adhere to previous page. Die-cut holes in blank margin edges have tiny splits, but images areas are otherwise bright, clean, and near Exc. Superb design and graphics throughout. A suede cover variety exists, but this is the first we’ve seen of this hard cover in our 47 years. Extremely limited distribution, just sent to theater owners and those in the trade. Exceptional!
