Seller's Description
Original French 12 1/4 inch x 8 3/4 inch 8 Page Illustrated Pressbook for the 1927 Luther Reed Comedy Drama EVENING CLOTHES (UN HOMME EN HABIT), based on the play by Yves Mirande & André Picard and starring Adolphe Menjou, Virginia Valli, Noah Beery, Louise Brooks, Arnold Kent and Andre Cheron.
Wealthy French farmer Lucien D'Artois (Menjou), is fond of raising horses and married to Germaine (Valli), according to the terms of a marriage contract. When she finds his rustic interests unbearable, she leaves him. Determined to become a polished Parisian, Lucien goes to the city and diligently studies fencing and dancing but is unable to gain her favour. He embarks on a life of frivolity and free spending and to demonstrate his powers with women deliberately steals Fox Trot (Brooks), a nightclub girl, from Lazarre (Beery). Eventually Lucien's fortune is drained, his entire possessions are seized, with the exception of a suit of evening clothes. Living by his wits, Lucien imagines himself still a popular and wealthy count, and returning to his bare flat, to his surprise, Germaine has returned to him.

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