@HONDO Big Trail & Ramona are wonderful Lawrence and it's nice to add a new artist to my collection.

Thanks Ves. It means more knowing you're not a big Wayne fan

Indeed Lawrence. I'm hoping that with Errol Flynn being a local talent, more effort would have been put into his daybill design

Plus a few more 3 Sheets.
The Vampire Bat (1933)
A busy last couple of months with a trip to Lake Como and just prepping for Tokyo. However, I did find time to add another 30 or so to my permanent pre-war collection.

A Wings one would also be nice in Where Are These Daybills? Comment by collectahollic February 21The surplus reds (in my view being last of the original release) were also used for the 78RR. With the new post 1976 GY classification added, to subsidize the glossy orange/blue MAPs daybill.
in M-G-M Logos Used On Australian Daybills In The 1960s. Comment by collectahollic February 3(Quote) I believe that Sean is trying to ascertain (with more certainty than we have to date come up with) which order the three 2001: A Space Odyssey daybills were released.
I believe it is as shown L-R in the below image.
…Unfortunately, the seller only had the five shown Lawrence.Also, no mention of sizes, or posters at all in any of the issues from memory.A wonderful 6 Sheet Lawrence, thanks for posting.(Quote) Well it was 'Master Pictures' Ves(Quote) Many thanks Duke. I look forward to hanging it, once I figure out where and how.Following on from discussions of getting the right balance. I've just had Jamie return my 1924 Australian 3 Sheet for The Hound of the Baskervilles.
The top section was found directly under the many layers of lino and shielded the posters…IMDB have what appears to be an image of the upper two thirds of a US 3 Sheet. So, an example of how eye-catching the one on display would have looked.
It was also touted by Fox as being 'The World's Greatest Motion Picture', which could…I'm certainly still collecting Bruce (the last two from you). In fact my pre-war collection has grown more in the last 12 months than years prior.
Perhaps the influx of collectors offloading in recent months is enabling this (one mans lo…An example of one that I'll be leaving 'as is', is this Wynne Davies long daybill for Billie Love's 1928 Adoration that I picked up in Perth earlier this year (Thursday 10th July gives it a 1930 release in Australia).
If the lower left …I've had a number of my 1920's fire damaged 'longs' restored. Predominantly because the paper was brittle and if at a minimum they weren't backed, they were literally toast.

The upcoming Lon Chaney (Londo…(Quote) Thanks Bruce. The logo's match up, so assumed it was also from the first release, as per your yellow example. If a later release, I'm sure 'William' Fox wouldn't have been used either.(Quote) Going off of this trade ad (and possibly inlaid 24 Sheet image?), That 'dinosaur' could well be representing a sea beast of some kind?
in Australian (Hoyt's Pictures) Green Room magazines 1919 to 1921 Comment by collectahollic December 2023Very nice Lawrence. I'm sure Bride 13 would've been an impressive daybill, going off of Dick's artwork.And a few additional adverts.
in Australian (Hoyt's Pictures) Green Room magazines 1919 to 1921 Comment by collectahollic December 2023Clearer shots of the 2 signed ones. From Tom Perry & Dick Hore.Thanks Lawrence. They're a little fragile, however, I'll attempt a couple of scans later.(Quote) On the theme of odd artwork Lawrence ....
in Hondo's Daybill and One Sheet Q&A [Re-Titled] Comment by collectahollic November 2023From a local theatre, double sided early 40's cards (12 1/2" x 20"), likely used in leu of official material.
Friday, May 6th, would date Marie Walewska as 1938.
in October 2023 Comment by collectahollic October 2023Apparently the Art Director blew out the budget.More of a documentary/event than a film. However, here's another one for you Lawrence. Festival in Adelaide daybill.
