Fox Film Corporation Exhibitor's Book (Fox, 1926). Exhibitor's book (9.5 X 15.75 inches). Founded in 1915 by William Fox, the studios that bore his name were originally a joining of two separate businesses: the Greater New York Film Rental distribution company, and the Fox Office Attractions production company. An early adopter of sound technology, Fox acquired the rights to several sound-on-film processes, resulting in the Fox Movietone series, which ran until 1963. By 1926, he built Movietone City, a studio near Beverly Hills, and in 1929 was in the midst of a deal to acquire the holdings of Loews/MGM, but a car accident and the calamitous stock market crash took their toll, and Fox was wiped out. The studio struggled on for a time, but by 1935, what was left of Fox merged with Twentieth Century Pictures to become Twentieth Century Fox. During its hey-day, Fox released such classic films as Cleopatra (1917), Sunrise (1927), Just Imagine (1930), Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm (1932), and Hoopla (1933). Offered here is an exquisite exhibitor's book from 1926, a period during which Fox and his studio were on top of the world. Within these hard-bound pages, you'll find full-page images of such top performers and directors as John Ford, Frank Borzage, Raoul Walsh, F. W. Murnau, Howard Hawks, Madge Bellamy, Tom Mix, Janet Gaynor, Buck Jones, and more, as well as spectacular spreads devoted to such pictures as Three Bad Men, What Price Glory, and The Great K and A Train Robbery, to name just a few.

The book shows wear on the covers and corners, small stains on some of the interior pages, light wear on some of the interior photos, and rounded corners, overall very good condition
