This exceptional original Warner Bros. Studio marketing photo album/scrapbook chronicles the movie industry’s system of engaging the movie-going public during the Great Depression in a form of interactive promotional live theatre to immerse them in the cinematic experience. Featuring physical props displays special lighting costumed extras studio scripts featuring a myriad of promotions the Warner Bros. Studios theatre group was able to enhance and pull in far more movie-goers and set the foundation for their marketing system in the coming decades. By using their opulent and fabulous 1920’s era created movie palaces these images capture the pre-Code sexualized Mae West in slinky costumes emblazoned on radio station cars physical stand-up showroom displays restaurant menus post-Prohibition tavern beer coasters and even pulled in local officials such as Mayor George Oaks of Oshkosh WI. Also featured here are photos and flyers for the giveaway cars tie-ins with the Oshkosh State Teachers College football team and nearby department store window displays which significantly expanded the visual and immersive experience.Of particular interest is the included and very detailed 117 step campaign script for Mae West’s iconic “I’m No Angel†featuring the titillating star as Tira the circus beauty who manages to always be mistress of the situation whether in the cage with wild beasts her boudoir filled with admirers to be bedded or even charming and seducing the judge at the end of the film with only a wiggle. The pre-Code campaign encourages the Warner Bros. Studio theatre’s to include a “Try your figure†display panel where young women would measure themselves against the busty silhouette and those that matched closest to the scantily gowned West would receive free tickets. Another stunt was setting up a “Mae West Voice Test†using a dictaphone in the lobby with a “pretty girl attendant†set up in charge to ask potential women movie-goer attendees to utter “Come up and see me sometime†and free tickets were awarded for the best Mae West imitations. Other movies featured at the Strand in Oshkosh or the Smoot & Lincoln Theatre’s in Parkersburg WV depicted here with promotions souvenirs and photographs include: “The Sea Wolf†based on Jack London’s book and which starred Milton Sills Jane Keithley and Raymond Hacket released just 1 week after Sills’ death and features stunts with potential young movie-goers to bring their Rin Tin Tin like dogs as well as airplane stunts and lobby card; or elaborate window displays and automobile floats mocked up as dirigibles and costumed extras for Frank Capra’s “Dirigible†released in 1931 and starred Fay Wray Jack Holt Ralph Graves and Hobart Bosworth set against the drama of a competition by fixed-wing aircraft and dirigible airships to reach the South Pole. Other movies briefly archived in the group here feature “When Ladies Meet†released in 1933 starring Ann Harding Myrna Loy and Robert Montgomery or a couple mentions of the 1931 Bela Lugosi Dracula. The 1933 Gold Diggers is featured in several photos which starred Joan Blondell Aline MacMahaon Monica Bannister Joan Barclay and Connie Blackwood as out-of-work Broadway chorus girls. Also appearing here in approximately one fourth of the photo album/scrapbook is a similar campaign as that for Mae West for the 1932 “Fireman Save my Child!†with the wildly popular comedian Joe E. Brown starring as Joe Grant inventor fireman and baseball player offered to play in the big leagues in the film but earning more money from his inventions Again the script advises engaging the local fire department to put on stunts include the supplied advertising on their fire engines and even encourages the use of a large animatronic mechanical head of Brown in a fireman’s hat in the lobby. The movie was actually a natural fit for Joe Brown who had launched his physical comedy during the 1893 Depression by making faces at the firemen on passing coal-burning trains so they would throw coal at him to collect and sell and later worked as circus acrobat and newsboy and was a lifelong baseball fan. From 1930-July 1934 the Hollywood studios were largely self-regulating their content with continued threats by outside groups to “clean†up their movies and somehow balance the puritanical group sensibilities against the ever growing demands by audiences for movies that were daring edgy naughty and even sexualized often depicting spousal abuse sexual bondage marital infidelity free love with stars such as Mae West Norma Shearer Kay Francis Dorothy Mackaill Nancy Carroll and Constance Bennett typically depicted half-clad or in bed. At the time the movie studios and theatre’s were attempting to recoup the massive investments in transitioning to sound films and market the new technology by cultivating a sophisticated campaign system often hiring Broadway writers directors and actors to travel around and oversee their promotions productions.
