From my collection of MGM daybill images dating from 1930 to 1935 that were all printed by Simmons, and are beautifully designed and colourful as the small number of examples appearing below show,
( Ves )
It always amuses me that Bonnie Scotland was advertised as "60 minutes of Joy". The film runs for 80 minutes, so obviously 20 minutes of it was pure misery?
A question is that the area of the poster that Shirley is leaning on is perchance covering up some other original artwork? A longshot, but I needed to ask nevertheless. It just doesn't look right to me.
I still think its s blank section to just put the screening details, like these examples.

O.k. then. Firstly the Carmen Miranda daybill was originally printed as a stock poster post 1941 in the altered to 13'' x 30'' size. In the case of this poster it had the blank space allocated for a film's credits as seen above, and not specifically designed for this purpose for screening theatre details information..
The Mickey Mouse early 1930's daybill printed as a 15'' x 40'' long daybill is akso a stock poster. There is certainly more than ample room for film's title, and also screening dates as wel if required.l on this poster.
Interestingly Bruce has sold ten in the past of this Mickey Mouse stock poster, and all of them unused.
Anyone make out the over printing above her name? Is it just transfer from HOLLANDS TALKIES up top, but it doesnt really line up
The printing you refer to is certainly unreadable. It would be interesting to know what the wording, says and if it would assist us in any way.
A question for those who think the Bright Eyes daybiill is a stock poster. If the blank section was designed for added films title and perhaps other details, isn't then this area a little on the thin side to accommodate these details within the allocated space. How would one go with adding a title such as Susannah of The Mounties into this width. The title of the film would have to be in small capitol letters then. Just a thought.

All those Mickey Mouses came from one wonderful find! Sadly, there are no more.

I believe that I have presented all my facts and thoughts that I have regarding the two Holland's Talkies daybills. If anyone has any other ideas about these posters please don't hesitate to include them here. as I am keen to hear them?
I am curious about this poster that is currently advertised on trademe.co.nz It is advertised as being My Little Chickadee original daybill from 1940 N.Z. daybill. There isn't any other information supplied, including the size of the poster.
Is this poster what it is advertised as being? Any thoughts?
The New Zealand Brides Of Dracula duotone daybill printed for the 1960s first release there. This poster was adapted from the 1950's first release N.Z. versions of Dracula ( aka Horror Of Dracula).
Is the above Brides Of Dracula the one that you have, or do you have an Australian first release daybill poster perhaps in the style of Horror Of Dracula ( Dracula ) Australian first release 1970's daybills.
The Mummy's Curse ( 1944 ). Australian newspaper advertisement that was placed in 1946.
In March 2017 I commenced a discussion here on this thread that covered special Australian horror film classifications that were applied during part of the 1940's. The subject was revisited again in November 2018. If you are unfamiliar with this thread and are interested it can be easily accessed,
The Mummy's Curse needs to recorded here having been classified with a Horror Film Suitable Only For Adults rating.
I have never located any Australian posters printed for this film. Has per chance anyone aware of any Australian posters existing for this title, in particular a daybill?
An original U.S.A. insert and three sheet poster. These should give us an idea of what a daybill, one sheet and three sheet would look like.

Worked out what the overprinting is...HOLLAND'S TALKIES. Flipped & reversed.
A rare I Confess ( 1953 ) Australian one sheet that was passed in at auction on February 20, 2023 in Sydney. The estimate had been A$200 - A$300. The poster was hidden away in a group of mainly non film posters, and not listed in the contents grouping title as including any film posters.
I am curious to know if anyone knew about the auction?
The above one sheet poster sold on Bruce's Auctions way back on the 31st of August 2004. Listed as being in good to very good condition it was sold for $70.99 U.S.
Although slightly different in colour variations, and in condition both posters had writing in the top lefr hand side in the reverse side of the poster..
Condition: good to very good. marker writing on the back of the poster that bleeds through somewhat at upper left in the title and credits and white background; approximately 1/2" hole in the "C" in "CONFESS" at upper left ; smudges, minor creases, and scuffs throuhout the poster (more so along the foldlines); minor separation at each crossfold and some of the ends of the foldlines.

Interesting. Has anyone ever sighted any other versions of this Australian one sheet?
Theodore Bruce Auctions. Stanmore. Included in Vintage Art, Avertising, Travel & Fashion Posters lot. there were five other Australian one sheets and two daybills
I saw Tarz & his mate for sale about 6 months ago. Price was reasonable, but to my eye, that colour palette is not right for first printing. Ended up walking.
