What is coming clear to me is that in the 1920's and the 1930's in Australia first release posters were printed with more than one style, similar to the U.S.A. with daybills and one sheets. I am thinking that due to World War 11 and the paper shortage this practice in most cases ceased. After the war ended distributors, except for a small amount of exceptions, decided only one poster for each size was sufficent.
Palace Theatre Cairns Queensland circa 1927, decorated for a fancy dress ball.
Close up of a small section of what appears to be at least 80 plus film posters seen on display. Unidentified Bebe Daniels poster, The Sea Beast ( John Barrymotre ) and Monsieur Beaucaire ( Rudolph Valentiono ) being just three of the massive display. I wonder if any survived to this day?

Thank god for NFSA!
Could merge this with Print Advertising thread I started this week.

Rule out looking for anything regarding Freaks as it was banned in Australia and only received it's first release here in the 1970's.
