Haldane 100th Anniversary – Get a copy of the big press book

In honor of Haldane of the Secret Service being released 100 years ago by the Film Bookers Office (F.B.O), thought I would share the following FBO ads:

Motion Picture News (Sep-Oct 1923)

What I love about the ad above, is that it mentions getting a copy of the big press book for Haldane of the Secret Service.

Moving Picture Workd (Nov-Dec 1923)

The above ad shows a few random pages from F.B.O press sheets. I particularly like the one in the lower left corner.

Addendum:

Back in 2018, I had the rare opportunity to see this big press book during a trip to the east coast. Below is a snippet from the blog post about the trip.

Kevin [Connolly] had me sit at the dining room table, where he brought out the pressbook of all pressbooks. It was the Haldane of the Secret Service pressbook, which may be the only one in existence. It was about three times the size of any other Houdini Pressbook.
