MGM  Parade of Hits  promotional campaign book c.  1927
Promotional book intended for theatre owners. Contains bios of executives, along with MGMs host of stars, including Lillian Gish ("Star of Stars! Critics praise her lavishly, but it is the public that takes her close to its heart."); Marion Davies ("Comedienne superb! Her beauty, her merry personality have won her fandom's acclaim!"); Greta Garbo ("Unquestionably the outstanding motion picture find of the past year. The public, the critics, demand stardom for her after Ibanez' 'Torrent' and 'Temptress.' Watch!"), and many other MGM greats in the infancy of their careers. Next, the book gorgeously outlines "52 Star Studded Motion Pictures" released from 1926-27 including "The Scarlett Letter" (Lillian Gish) and "Ben-Hur", featuring a full-color spread with poster artwork and illustrations from each film. A great memento from this early era. 50+ pages, 13 in. x 13 in. General wear to the cover and pages, though the colors are quite vibrant and the pages intact.
