A GENTLEMAN OF PARIS

Original French 12 1/4 inch x 8 3/4 inch 8 Page Illustrated Pressbook for the 1927 Harry d’Abbadie d’Arrast Comedy A GENTLEMAN OF PARIS (LE VALET DE COEUR), based on the story “Bellamy the Magnificent” byRoy Horniman and starring Adolphe Menjou, Shirley O’Hara, Arlette Marchal, Ivy Harris, Nicholas Soussanin and William B. Davidson.

Marquis de Marignan is a brazen womanizer who spends most of his life escaping the wrath of husbands he has angered. Joseph, his faithful valet frequently rescues Marignan from disaster. But when Joseph finds out that his boss has been sleeping with his wife, he plots a scheme to publicly humiliate Marquis by exposing him as a card cheat. The ruse works, but Marignan manages to have the last laugh by faking his own suicide and returning to haunt Joseph into confessing his scheme.

The pressbook is in very good condition with minor wear along the spine.
