Found these when looking for pics of the lewtons...
The Saint In New York ! 1938 ) would have been a long daybill.
Love Affair ( 1939 ) again would have been a long daybill.
The Saint In Palm Springs ! 1941 ) ? Could have been a long daybill or a 13 X 30. Unable to say for sure as 1941 was the year of the changeover in size.
We can now add the recently sighted King Kong ( 1933 ) 1952 re-release Australian one sheet poster to the list of RKO Australian released one sheets printed between 1949 and 1958, where the non 4 star logos were used, after the 4 star logo in Australia was discontinued being used on one sheets after 1948.
RKO daybills might just come out on top of all others (yes Richardsons included!)
Yes a fair comment. There were some beauties produced in the 1930's and 1940's. One day I hope to get around to talking more about the RKO 4 Star daybill period.
Thanks Ves for the two images. Shall We Dance was within the period of time RKO Australia used the ****star logo on their daybills. The Saint In London ( 1939 ) one sheet is both rare ( I have never seen it before, as far as I can remember ) and fabulous as well.
Nice to see images if they have or haven't been mentioned before on this thread. Very little in the way of images in the overall scheme of things have been downloaded onto this thread, and even if they were it is always nice to revisit them and probably in some cases members seeing them for the first time, so keep them coming..
As mentioned previously I intend to cover the usage of the 4**** logos on Australian RKO daybills, which were used over many years and a different time period from the Australian one sheets, at a later time. In the meantime I will make mention again regarding the usage of 4**** logos on Australian 3 sheets. Unfortunately the availability of 3 sheets images is extremely limited and in the case of RKO almost zero. The following seven are the only titles what I have found to date,
1930- 1939. Nothing sighted.
1940 -1949. Marine Raiders ( 1944 ) & The Master Race ( 1944 ). Both have 4 **** printed on the posters.
1950 -1958. Face To Face ( 1952 ), Saturday Island ( 1952 ), Marry me Again ( 1953 ), Escape To Burma( 1955 ) & Underwater! ( 1955 ). They were all printed with the plain RKO logo ( minus the 4 **** ).
The time period so far ties in with the RKO one sheet 4 **** and no star usage.

Amended ****star one sheet count.
Up to 1935. 1 with no stars.
1936 / 1948. 31 with **** stars.
1949 to 1958. 44 with no stars.
Eye Witness comes without 4 stars and falls within my established printed periods.
New amended **** star and non 4 star Australian one sheet count to date.
A further RKO Australian one sheet has been located.
Rio Grande Patrol ( 1950 ). Without stars.
Amended **** star and non 4 star Australian RKO one sheet ongoing count.
Up to 1935. 1 without stars.
1936 / 1948. 31 with **** stars.
1949 / 1958. 46 without stars.
For Australian 3 sheets, which are extremely rare, I have only been able to locate a total of seven. Two are from 1944 with **** stars and the remaining five are from the early to mid 1950's, and are all without stars. This falls in line, time wise, with the one sheet presentation period as just mentioned abpove.
Flight From Glory Australian Long Daybill has 4 stars...are we still looking at the long ones or just the one sheets now?
In June 2015 I mentioned '' One day I will discuss ****star RKO Australian daybills in depth as well''. I still intend to accomplish this at some time or another, but as you probably realise it will be a huge task. Any information supplied on this subject with providing **** star RKO daybill information will be appreciated and helpful, for when I finally get around to talking seriously about this topic. As I have mentioned on the forum previously the time period for **** star daybill usage is different than the one sheets, and it now appears the 3 sheets as well.
Amended **** star and non 4 star Australian RKO one sheet ongoing count.
Up to 1935. 1 without stars.
1936 / 1948. 31 with **** stars.
1949 / 1958. 46 without stars.
Man Alive ( 1945 ), image with **** stars supplied by Ves, to be added to list totals.
Amended **** star and non 4 star Australian RKO one sheet ongoing count.
Up to 1936 (amended ). 1 without stars.
1937 / 1948. ( amended ). 32 with **** stars.
1949 / 1958. 49 without stars.
Please note I have amended the Up to 1935 period to now read - Up to 1936, and the 1936 / 1948 **** stars period to 1937 / 1948. The reason for this change is that the one title I had sighted from 1936 with **** stars was A Woman Rebels. The film was a 1936 U.S.A. release but I have since established the film premiered in Australia on 29 January, 1937. This appears the same year ( to be confirmed ) that the **** stars logo started being printed on Australian daybills as well.

Sorry I see Long Night was already raised...for some reason the search didn't bring it back before I posted. Nevermind...carry on!
Both already covered...wonder why my search didn't return them....
