Re: Hondo's This And That
The posters were definitely trimmed on all sides leaving only the artwork intact.Those descriptions surely would then indicate that the entire text at the bottom of both posters was added by the restorer, possibly as a “best guess” from other Cinema Arts posters. If indeed all the copyright details were missing, and this information did come from other Cinema Arts posters one has to wonder how accurate it would then be,
According To NFSA, Cinema Arts operated in Australia in the period 1927 - 1932. From my extensive research of all my twenty seven Cinema Arts daybill images that I have, there were at least eight different variations of copyright information presentations. These included five different printing companies. Taking into account that there were no other examples of these two daybills to copy the exact information from, how then would we know for sure that the correct details were added to the restored posters? Just asking. a question that springs to mind.

Re: Hondo's This And That
Two Metropolis ( 1927 ) Australian daybills thought to be the only known copies to be in existence.
The following are the descriptions that accompanied the daybills on the Heritage website.
Robotrix Style Daybill
….. had professional restoration to address missing paper at the imprint area and along the bottom border, including copyright information.
Flood Style Daybill
…. after professional restoration has addressed missing paper at the top in the imprint area and along the bottom border, including the copyright information.

Re: Hondo's This And That
( Trove )Once upon a time in Australia there were Midnight Movies screenings of horror and science fiction films. They are now a thing of the past. From newspaper advertisements placed in Adelaide S.A. in 1952 I thought you may enjoy the above programming details.

Re: A Do You Know Your Classic Movies Quiz.
Sorry but incorrect. To perhaps put some people out of their misery, I will now reveal the answer for C223 is actually Way Out West from 1937. Following below is my original posted image followed by the 22'' x 28'' half sheet where the image originated from.jayn_j said:Likely Belle of the Nineties then with (Electric) Memphis Blues being 5he hit
The clue that I gave mentioning that a song featured in the film became a U.K, chart hit in 1975, referred to the Laurel and Hardy with The Avalon Boys version of The Trail Of The Lonesome Pine.

Re: Monster A GoGo's Shock-O-Rama Poster Show
Part 2:
BRAIN DEAD (Video):
And well...that's it. I hope you weren't too disappointed---or bored. I'll end this here--before it gets really bad. Courtesy ape-lause is even too much for this Poster Show. 
I'll try harder next time.
BRAIN DEAD (Video):
A movie starring Bill Pullman, Bill Paxton, Bud Cort, and George Kennedy--and produced by Julie (Mrs. Roger) Corman? How did I miss this curiousity? This is another video poster. Did this play theatrically?
BEVERLY HILLS BODY SNATCHERS (Video):
This was cheap--and I'd never heard of it. It's a video poster as well--but did it ever have a theatrical release? With this poster--and the two above it (all purchased at the same time)--I realized that I was buying posters--not because I "need" or particularly "like" them, but because I was looking for things to fill up a post. Sorry. (I really need to STOP doing crap like that. Some of the free ones from the theater are bad enough...)
THE WILD PARTY:
I came across this while "shopping." It was cheap and it features the recently deceased 60 sex symbol Raquel Welch. In honor of Raquel, I decided to buy it...only to discover I already had a copy. Oops! (And I've never even seen the movie. Ha!) A while back, I was trying to track down all of the posters for all of her flicks. I have ONE MILLION YEARS B.C., FANTASTIC VOYAGE, FATHOM, and a few others. I'd really also love to score a MYRA BRECKINRIDGE and a KANSAS CITY BOMBER, but... She may have been in her 80s when she died, but it broke my heart to lose another legend.
OLD DRACULA:
Like THE WILD PARTY, I already have a copy of OLD DRACULA. Unlike WILD PARTY, I didn't buy it by mistake thinking I needed one. Hello? I have a copy hanging on my bedroom wall. No...I just really like the poster. It was cheap. Now I have a spare. I saw this flick when I was a kid in the 70s. (It was on a double bill with FOOD OF THE GODS.) I liked it then, although it didn't seem to hold up (in my opinion) years later when I saw it again. Held up or not, I have always loved the poster (especially the skeleton wearing cat-eye glasses in the coffin). The attempt to make it seem like a sequel to YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN cheapens it a bit, but what the heck? It's fun.
ANT-MAN AND THE WASP: QUANTUMANIA:
Freebie boster from the theater. I'm not a superhero movie guy...so I never saw this--or the first one. But hey--I'll take the poster. It might be worth something someday...
VIOLENT NIGHT:
I got one of these awhile back. Why bother getting another (especially when I still have NOT seen it yet)? Because it was FREE at the theater. In fact, I picked up two copies! This is one of the many flicks my little small-town theater previewed, got posters for...and yet NEVER played. ARGH!!!!
PEARL (style A):
I lucked onto a free copy of the poster for X at my local theater. I was not as fortunate with the poster for the prequel, PEARL, which I had to buy. But I was thrilled to find one reasonably-ish priced. I do like how, on this A-style of the poster, they clue you in that this is part of the X series (the big X behind her and the "X-traordinary Origin Story" blurb). There's an ax and some blood splatters...what more do you need?
PEARL (Style 
:
I came across this B-style (which I didn't know existed) while shopping. Ooooo I like it, too. The X poster and the PEARL posters have me really interested in the series---which I have NOT seen yet. (Shocker, huh?) I'm even looking forward to the next one, MAXXXINE, based on the positive word-of-mouth these two flicks have generated on their own. Whoo hoo!
Thanks for visiting.
Cheers!
