Three Hang 'Em High (1968) printed daybill posters.
The above first example on the left is the version printed for distribution in Australia, and the following one was printed for New Zealand usage. Although the two designs appear to be almost the same there is a difference. The Australian version has the Color By Deluxe wording printed in black, while the New Zealand version has this wording printed in red. The third poster has the Color By Deluxe wording printed in black ink, and also is similar to the above first pictured Australian printed version. Both these two posters were printed by the same printed MAPS.
My questions are now regarding the origins of the second and the third posters.
The Second N.Z. poster wasn't credited as being printed by MAPS. but only has the letter J appearing at the bottom right hand side. of the red colour bar. It is uncertain if this letter J was a printing error and if has anything to do with a printer's credit.
Question one is was this version printed in Australia or New Zealand?
Question two is regarding version three. Although there are numerous images sighted for the first two daybill versions I could only locate one image of the last version. This copy has the Color By Deluxe wording printed in black and is the same colour as the Australian version. yet no Australian censorship appear on it.
It does seem a little odd to me that this poster wording was printed in black and not in red, so not being the same coloue as all of the located N.Z. versions.
Of interest two different Australian one sheet poster versions of Boy On A Dolphin (1957).
Two versions printed for an Australian one sheet poster for a first release is very rare, particularly in the 1950s. Off the top of my head I cannot think of any example of this happening during this decade.
Is one perhaps a second printing? I doubt very much that the film would have been re-released here.
The printer of the above blue background version is by W,F, Schey. Pty.Ltd. The printer's credit appearing on the other version is unable to be distinguished, I am uncertain where this image originated from.
Does anyone here happen to own this poster, and if so are able to provide an image of the printer's credits?
Without doing any research is anyone aware of any Australian one sheets where two different versions were designed and printed for a film during the 1950's?

I would love to hear from anyone if this is the case..

A long shot, but I will ask anyway. Does anyone have an image of the 1933 Alice in Wonderland Paramount film daybill that was produced for the 1934 Australian release?
I was waiting for all parts to be added, I assume you don't have an image of any poster that finally was used?
I will soon fill everyone in on all that I know about the results of the contest in my part three entry.
This will include my thoughts about the official printed daybill poster/s used for official distribution purposes, and also for any other poster versions that may have been used for any other publicity purposes.
I'd like to know if this was actually produced as a daybill for theatres. Any evidence? The article says it was produced as a poster, but was it used in theatres?

Exactly my thinking, and that is why I had originally asked if anyone had the original daybill. To sight an original daybill or daybills,and a press sheet would be of great assistance.
An Australian bookshop full window display of various Alice In Wonderland material advertising the film release, while also promoting the book.
To further expand on Peter's earlier question regarding if the winning contest poster was released as an official daybill produced for the film. As Paramount were known for printing two different daybill designs for some of their bigger releases, I am thinking possibly there was perhaps one Richardson Studio version, along with a different second version with this being the contest winner's design. , One other thing that crossed my mind is that there are numerous posters that look the size of the contest entries seen appearing in the window display. In an earlier newspapers article appearing earlier it stated though that apart from the winning entry that all the remaining entries would be returned to their owners. Surely then this would rule out that any of the poster entries that appear in the window display were contest entries. A large amount of time and effort would have been involved in producing those posters to be used only in non daybill poster advertising,
It would really be great to hear any thoughts and comments from any members regarding my above information.
