I will now also add to the previous Don't Bother To Knock poster design topic with some additional information.
The U.S.A. posters with the same sexy Marilyn dress design that was printed on the daybill and the one sheet appear on the majority of the major American poster designed sizes..The sizes are the one sheet, window card, half sheet title lobby card and the six sheet.
The factual alternative casual clothed design that appears on the Australian three sheet was only printed originally on the U.S. three sheet and the insert poster.
The Country Cousin ( 1936 ) Everyones poster advertisement for a United Artists Silly Symphony cartoon.
I have never sighted a United Artists Silly Symphony colour daybill poster. One has to wonder if the above image is what an actual daybill of The Country Cousin may have looked like if one had been actually printed.
To date the only United Artists Walt Disney product daybill located is the following stock poster.
A question to be asked then is did the UA released Silly Symphony cartoon films also have their own stock poster in addition to the above New Mickey Mouse stock poster?
United Artists distributed its last Walt Disney Silly Symphony film in 1937 Following this RKO Radio then acquired the distribution of Walt Disney product commencing in the same year.
The following are three of the Silly Symphony films that RKO released in the late 1930's, and their Australian printed daybills,
The following is interesting. The U.S.A. one sheet credits it as being ''A Micky Mouse'', yet the Australia daybill credits it as being a Silly Symphony.
A U.K. trade publication advertisement placed for Silly Symphony product, calling it Silly Symphonies though. Comparing the above Australian daybill with the U.K. material one notices the similar Mickey Mouse pose on both posters. and wording.
My final comment then is considering the above Goofy And Wilbur posters, as well as the above U.K. material, was then perhaps all the Australian Silly Symphony UA released product titles just added to the above daybill when they were released here?
Not much I can say but your research is great. Now I know more about these posters, and it's great to see the differences side by side. Your work is always appreciated even if I just sit here and silently view it.

Thanks for your prompt response.You are an appreciated regular contributor to my quizzes. and from time to time to my other threads also. All of this participation is most appreciated.
As dedeposter well said, we are here and very much appreciate your contributions, but we can't add anything more to your research, in my case is far away from my knowledge and my resources

Thank you for your great work !
A big thank you also for your kind words Diego. They are most appreciated.
Working with some known information on cartoon and serial running times, then adding on the interval time ( not also discounting possibly two intervals ), then adding on the running time for a conservative children's, possibly a western B grade feature of around 60 minutes duration , I have come up with a total time spent at this screening of somewhere between four and a half to possibly five hours, depending on the running time of the feature film.
The kids in attendance must have loved this screening. I think the 12 Noon start was brought forward due to the the total running time of this apparently school holidays programme, which was possibly a Christmas threat for patrons..
That looks to me like a well expended day ! Hehehe !
We had here in the 80's, maybe late 70's "long" sessions for kids in theaters, not only a lot of cartoons, but also clowns and not sure if magicians. I think sundays in the afternoon and was magical, for sure a good treat for our parents, too, not having us bothering around for a few hours, Hehehe !
A rare, and the only ever sighted by me film poster material above of The Savage ( 1952 ) that was printed with the film's original working title of Warbonnet appearing on it.
War Bonnet was the name Charlton Heston's Character in the film was given to him by the Sioux.

That is an exceptionally cool ad, Lawrence!

Me too, but nothing beats being able to sit quietly and flick through a physical copy!
I have a load of them from 1928/29. They are fantastic historical records of Australian cinema and I agree with you that going through the physical copies is great.
I have a truly massive collection of U.S. exhibitor magazines, but sadly almost none of Everyone's magazines. I agree they are incredible.
If and when I retire, I would love to start uploading tons of ads and stories from the U.S. magazines that have been unseen since the magazines were published.

Some of my relatives warn me of how hard it is to cope with "nothing to do" after retiring. THAT is the last problem I would have! But I continue to "reinvent" eMoviePoster.com. Streamlining it to where it does not auction sub-$30 items (either individually OR in bulk) should allow me to both run it as a business AND get on to fun projects like the above. Time will tell!

U.S.A. one sheet of Walt Disney's Academy Award Revue (1937 ), and an Australian trade magazine advertisement from Everyones / Trove advertising the film's release. This film was released just prior to Disney switching their film distribution from United Artists to RKO Radio in 1937. United Artists had distributed 53 Mickey Mouse and Silly Symphonies cartoons between 1932 and 1937.
The following Mickey Mouse stock poster is the only known to me Australian daybill poster printed for the United Artists Walt Disney short subject cartoon releases.
Were there any other daybill posters ever printed by UA for any of their other cartoon product? I am thinking of a Silly Symphonies stock poster at least, and the 1937 feature Walt Disney's Academy Award Revue had surely been printed. Were there daybills printed though for the 53 individual cartoon titles one has to wonder?
In the U.S. United Artists only created stock posters and ultra-rare 40x60s for the individual cartoons. My guess it that they did NOT make daybills for single cartoons, which is why none have surfaced.

Yes I had thought that this may have been the case here. Thanks for your imput Bruce.
( Trove ) Early 1930's United Artists advertisement placed in trade magazine Everyones, with exact year published unreadable. Alongside it is the U-A The new Walt Disney Mickey Mouse daybill that would certainly appear to have been printed around the same period of time..
Lawrence - My guess is that Disney ad would date from circa December 1932. I have the same ad in a Film Weekly from that month. It is actually a 4 page colour ad, that image is of the first page. Bruce mentioned that United Artists only created stock posters and the 40" x 60" heavy stock posters. But they DEFINITELY did create specific one sheets for the cartoons - both for Mickey Mouse and the Silly Symphony shorts. Examples are The Mad Doctor, Father Noahs Ark, Bugs in Love, Mickey's Good Deed and quite a few others that have surfaced and sold for big bucks.

Yes, you are correct. My memory failed me. It was RKO that only made the Mickey Mouse standee and weird insert cards that were made to be put on the standee when the changeover first occurred.
But this brings up something else. Whenever I talk to a movie buff in their 80s or older, I ask them if they EVER remember a movie theater with a one-sheet for a cartoon on display, and they all say no. I imagine this is why so few survive. The bigger question is why they made them, if no one ordered them.
In the 1950s and 1960s cartoon one-sheets WERE displayed a great deal, although mostly only at Saturday matinees.
