1930's Noir (Daybills Vs. The World)
Charlie Chan In Egypt ( 1935 ) Australian daybill.
My first contribution to this thread. Charlie's idea so he can fill us in on what he decides he wants to do. See previous discussion in The Horror Quiz thread to learn more.

The rotation can be ad hoc for now. Lawrence went first, I'll (US) do the next one, and then we'll see if we get into a rotation.
In response, an American member (me) would post. So here is a US lobby card - couldn't find the OS. (note read Lawrence's missing daybill threads for the next post) Other members follow suit - not sure we have to stick to posters from your home country. After we've had enough we can award a point and move to the next film. We will have to feel this out - maybe one new film each day or every other day depending on traction.
I'd say the daybill beats the Lobby. I wonder what the US OS looks like? I couldn't find a pressbook either.
No daybill or any other Australian posters located but I like the above card.
Missed this earlier question on Scarface, Yes this is a missing daybill poster.
Let me see what I can find
FAST AND FURIOUS (1939)
It is!!!
Bulldog Drummond's Peril ( 1938 ) ( image courtesy of John ), I Stole A Million ( 1939 ) and Mr. Wong In Chinatown ( 1939 ) long daybills.
Great Richardson, Marchant and W.E. Smith artwork, which will be hard to top.
Some of Venturi's best work is from this era
Thought it would be from the 1940's due to the gun image depicted on the poster. Very nice poster to have.
The U.S. one sheet that was posted is also a re-release, from 1937.
Here is a handy checklist to help tell eMoviePoster.com apart from all other major auctions!
Their first release paper from the 1920s and 1930s is far more rare than that from other studios.

Always good to learn about the printing policies of the old Holl studios. I have tried to get as much info as possible about thr art directors etc during that period but it is all a bit vague and confusing.
