That's a horrible rendering of John Neville.

Look whats back!

I just looked on ebay to see if this drummed up any interest, the second time around, and I don't see it listed anymore. It's not even in the Completed/Sold items, when I did an advanced search.

Could it have been withdrawn?

I spotted this German A1 Apocalypse Now Brando last night and thought about a bid - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/231147667604?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649

But after Googling, I found info on Mel's excellent site - http://www.moviepostercollectors.com/MPC_Authentication_Apocalypse_Now_German.html

And some info from Wolfgang (www.kinoart.net) and Helmut on MOPO - https://www.mail-archive.com/mopo-l@listserv.american.edu/msg53700.html

...both which suggest this is a reprint (it appears to be missing the white printing 'defect' near the bottom). I thought I'd post in case anyone else is watching and also to say many thanks to Mel, Helmut and Wolfgang.

I consigned that one as part of the "photo montage" purge.

By the way steer clear of EMP's upcoming travel poster auction next Tuesday if you know what's good for you.  Imma get me a bunch of them....

A piece for 1939's Hunchback of Notre Dame. Unfolded, it measures 12 x 25.5 inches. On the front bottom border it is dated December 9, 1939.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Hunchback-of-Notre-Dame-Theatre-Program-Sheet-1939-Original-/221369308756?hash=item338aa39654

Starting Bid: $4100.00

[Bruce]

Those are three magazine pages. I'd say they are overpriced by between 40 and 100 times.

[erik1925]

Printed in the center of the front, bottom border, is "Motion Picture Herald."  But the size seemed too large for a typical herald.

Bruce, did they ever make them in this larger size, for big spectacle films?

[oldposterho]

The "Motion Picture Herald" was actually a movie magazine like Variety or the Hollywood Reporter.  Definitely magazine pages.

--Peter

[Bruce]

It is a magazine that only went to theater owners. The entire magazine with this ad might sell for $50 or so.

[erik1925]

Thanks for the info, guys.

First rate info Bruce and Peter.

The same seller with the Hunchback piece above, also has this little item listed, for Frankenstein. The dimensions (3 x 4.5 inches) make it sound like a small flier or handbill of sorts, announcing the upcoming showing at the Ritz Theatre.

BIN: $4900.00

This is a local theater herald created locally for a theater than showed the movie either in 1932, or the next time when January 24th fell on a Sunday. I would think it might sell for $50 to $150 in a no reserve auction.

Does that include the BP?

The next time January 24th was a Sunday would have been 1960, then 1988, and coming soon...2016.

Even a broken clock is right twice a day.

There were "Sunday January 24ths" in 1937, 1943, 1954, 1960 and many more since.

I apologize. I shouldn't stoop to your level. If I could delete the "Even a broken clock is right twice a day" comment, I would, but I can't.

Stoop? What sort of comment is that, as if that wasn't a low stoop and then some? Maybe you can ask the mods to delete your comment - you usually do.

I looked up to find when Sunday 24ths were, I used this as my reference: http://www.timeanddate.com/calendar/repeating.html?year=1932 - simple error, world hasn't come to an end. Right or wrong my post was was hardly an attack on you, and no stoop intended.

We all have our own level. 5% of us need to stoop a lot more than the rest
