TIPTOES

Original French 12 1/4 inch x 8 3/4 inch 8 Page Illustrated Pressbook for the 1927 Herbert Wilcox Comedy TIPTOES (PETITE ETOILE), adapted from the stage musical by Guy Bolton & Fred Thompson and starring Dorothy Gish, Will Rogers, Nelson Keys, Jack Cardiff and Ivy Ellison.

Tip Toes (Gish) and her two partners Uncle Hen (Rogers) and Al (Keys) have a struggling music-hall act. When they go for auditions, theatre managers are keen on Tip Toes as a solo, but do not want the men. Tip Toes turns down offers to go it alone out of loyalty to her fellows. In deep financial trouble, they decide as a last throw of the dice to book into a suite at a high-class hotel and put the story about that Tip Toes is a sophisticated heiress, while she tries to snag a wealthy gentleman. Tip Toes attracts the interest of a young peer, but the plans of the trio are constantly on the point of being undermined as Hen and Al get into a series of scrapes.

The pressbook is in good to very good condition with some separation along the spine.
