THE NEW YORK TIMES, December 2, 1931

* Frankenstein - Boris Karloff advertisement
* Pre Code horror monster film  movie
* Two days prior to opening day in NYC


Page 31 has a 4 x 4 inch advertisement for the original "Frankenstein" film starring Boris Karloff. (see) This ad was for 2 day prior of it's opening making a very early if not earliest ad in any newspaper. Very rare as such.
News, sports and other advertisements of the day. Complete in 52 pages, this is the rare rag edition that was produced on very high quality newsprint, with a high percentage of cotton & linen content, allowing the issues to remain very white & sturdy into the present. Given the subscription cost, libraries & institutions rather than individuals were the primary subscribers of these high-quality editions. Nice condition.
