Here are the one sheets for Cell Block 11 and Caged
I have Australian one sheets for Caged and Riot in Cell Block 11 so you would think there must have been daybills as well
Well, actually she was known as Me Me Lai, Meme Lay, and Me Me Lay. Eaten Alive took scenes from the film Sacrifice aka Man From Deep River where she was billed as Me Me Lay so it is quite understandable that she was billed as Me Me Lay on Eaten Ali…Well, not sure that it is an error. According to a few sites she was billed alternatively as Me Me Lai (born 3 November 1951), sometimes billed as Me Me Lay or Meme Lay. According to imdb she was billed in the film as Marayå (as Me Me Lay)Thats probably the best plan for such a short trip. There will be plenty to do in Sydney!Here is the Australian one sheet for Journey Out of Darkness complete with screening details!

Something even earlier. Not really a pressbook but a guide to films in Jan 1916 with synopsis of various movies. Has anyone come across these before?

I have some very early Australian Press Sheets from the 1920s. This is one of them. Does anyone have any earlier Australian press sheets or know what the earliest known Australian press sheet might be?in Press Sheet showing prices of Australian posters Comment by John August 3
It was sold on my eBay store MoviePosterCentral. Pity about the NZ censorship but a very rare RKO posterI think I shared this image on another thread somewhere last year

(Quote) As I said in the Blog, there are some things about Mad Max posters that will remain as guesswork. I am certain that the shorter blue matte version is original. There is no way of knowing exactly when it was printed - but most likely s…Just a final comment from me on the YouTube Video. Firstly, I had no involvement at all in the video and I only posted the link because I thought other collectors might find it of interest. The person who produced the video kindly contacted me to as…(Quote) Not really, There are no other recorded examples of the Mad Max Blue Matte 26 3/4 daybill that I can find. Most of the daybills in that thread have slight differences in text or distribution details, etc eg Raiders of the Lost Ark.(Quote) Well spotted!.(Quote) Its not overprinted. If you compare the cloud at the top left on both posters, you can see where that is slightly cropped on the shorter version. So, about one inch has been cropped leaving the "...Remember he's on your side" text clo…Those stills look interesting Wil!Very rare Standee for Girl of the Bush (1921)
