Re: Where Are These Daybills?
(Trove / The Mail Adelaide 22 September 1945).From this information it would certainly appear that Hoyts commenced releasing some selective P.R.C. product in Australia commencing in 1945 to fill the shortage in their B grade film titles availability.
The 35 titles listed previously by Dave would certainly appear to be the total of all the PRC films that that Hoyts released here in Australia between 1945 and 1947.
What then regarding the earlier pre 1945 period. Were there other PRC titles released here? More on this subject soon.

Re: Where Are These Daybills?
Maybe they used stock posters for smaller releases? I assume those films would have had limited release? Or were people beating down the doors to go see another Chick Chandler film?

Re: Where Are These Daybills?
Surely it can't have been that expensive in those days to print something up? Maybe they just did a very small print run?

The Spotlight (1927),The Racket (1928) and The Letter (1929) Australian W. E. Smith printed daybill images from the 1920s. These are three examples of a number of daybills that I have image for of W.E.Smith printed posters from the '20s
