Rare movie prop newspaper...
Item # 666330
January 01, 1942
CHICAGO DAILY GAZETTE, (no date) We've all seen newspapers used as props in movies, typically with a headline relating to the plot of the movie. Obviously created exclusively for the production of the movie, they are quite rare and seldom come on the collector's market--particular issues from the "golden age of Hollywood".
I am not aware of what motion picture this issue was created for, but somewhere in the plot the assassination of President McKinley played a role.
A four page issue printed on higher quality newsprint than was typical, some light foxing and minor wear at the margins & fold. There are a few discrete archival mends inside.
A fascinating rarity and a great item for any rare newspaper collection.
