* The Wizard of Oz
* Opening day advertisement
* Judy Garland and more
Page 10 has an historic advertisement in early film history. See images for a 12 x 8 inch ad for the premiere of "The Wizard of Oz" in St. Louis. This was the day of the opening for this famous movie. Nice graphical appeal with this ad. (see) Also a related article on the same page headed: "Various Opening Days At First-Run Houses" (see). St. Louis was one of the first cities to release this film making this ad rare as such.
Other news, sports and advertisements of the day with reporting on the tensions in pre World War II Europe. Complete in 36 pages, light toning at the margins, some small binding holes along the spine, generally very nice.
