Title: Posters May Be Saved from Adelaide AU Theater
Post by: erik1925 on October 07, 2017, 11:34:02 AM: Cool article about the closed Windsor Theater (built in 1925) in Adelaide, and the movie posters glued to the interior hallways and box office. The mayor there is hoping someone will come in to try and remove and preserve the posters, if possible. Some look water- or glue stained on their surfaces, but hopefully, those can be repaired.

Even trying to save Deliverance is probably too much work

Hopefully, someone will give it the "old college try" and rescue some of them, if not too difficult (or permanently adhered or varnished over). prayer.gif

Not pasted over like the Adelaide theater, but stuck/pinned on top of each other there are a few! The Curzon Soho immediately comes to mind.
