‎London: Wardour Films / Universum Film UFA 1927. Original program for the London premiere of the film on March 21st 1927 at the Marble Arch Pavilion preceded in English by the US release earlier that month but with different title cards. Director Lang's expressionist masterpiece based on the novel and written for the screen by then-wife von Harbou one of the most enduring and influential films of the silent era. In addition to the normal synopsis photos and quotes from the actors the program presents pieces on the film's groundbreaking special effects and camerawork and most interestingly a side-by-side comparison of a portion of the film script with von Harbou's novel published the previous year. Any original paper relating to "Metropolis" is scarce with a 2012 post in Peter Harrington's blog ranking this program among the most difficult items. Very Good plus in stapled wrappers.

‎Two souvenir program variants for Can-Can Two original film programs‎

‎Los Angeles: Twentieth Century-Fox 1960. Two original souvenir film program variants for the 1960 film "Can-Can." Loosely based on the 1953 musical by Abe Burrows and composed by Cole Porter. This listing contains both a larger folio and a smaller quarto variant for the film both very different programs. The larger program is quite uncommon in stiff color illustrated wrappers. The quarto is the more commonly found variant of the program. The time-honored romance film trope in which Frank Sinatra plays a gun-shy sap unwilling to marry Can-Can dance club owner Shirley MacLaine until she becomes engaged to someone else that "someone" played here by the intimidating Maurice Chevalier. This time though the age-old story is set on the scintillating backdrop of 1890s Can-Can dancing. Nominated for two Academy Awards. Though the film substantially changes the plot of the original musical and adds a number of Porter's best-known songs to the film's soundtrack "Can-Can" was the second-highest grossing film of 1960 having been beaten out only by "Ben-Hur." Folio contains 28 pages in illustrated wrappers including a front flap saddle stitched 11.5 x 15 inches. Good plus with two two-inch long closed tears at the head and tail of the spine with a few small closed tears and light rubbing at the extremities. Still both an attractive and uncommon item. Quarto contains 16 pages saddle stitched 8.5 x 11.25 inches. Very Good plus. Hirschhorn p. 370. Twentieth Century-Fox unknown‎
