We have never seen one of these theater produced Coming Attraction Program Posters on the market as they were usually printed by an individual theatre and then discarded after that week of shows was completed.

So, this "BROADSIDE" poster printed by the original Melrose Theatre, on
Melrose Avenue, in Los Angeles, is a true survivor from 1941. It dates back to 1941 when the "Dive Bomber" film was released. Appears to be letterpress printed on a simple card stock. It measures approximately 18"x24" and is in an old plexi simple box frame. Could benefit from a careful reframing. When "Dive Bomber" hit the theaters in 1941, Americans already sensed that the U.S. would be plunged into World War II action. No one knew how and when war would come. But everyone knew they had to be ready. "Dive Bomber" is a stirring and authentic Technicolor tale about getting ready for war. Michael Curtiz, of Casablanca fame, directs from a script co-written by aviation pioneer Frank Wead. Appearing in this film is the USS Enterprise, the nations most decorated World War II ship. A new DVD of this film is included with the purchase. As with all of our pieces, a signed and sealed "Certificate of Authenticity" is included with your purchase.

NOTE:
Due to the nature of online photo reproduction we cannot be responsible for exact photographic color, hue, contrast and flash and non flash exposure accuracy in our photos. While we do our best to display photos that are as accurate as possible, our photos may or may not depict the absolute EXACT hue or color tone of our Antiques due to the many variables in image photography, image exporting, image uploading and viewer monitor accuracy. Please ask about color tone and hue BEFORE buying, if this is a concern!
NOTE:
In the interest of Vintage presentation and historical accuracy, we do not alter or modify our electrical, optical, mechanical or electronic Antiques, with the exception of some vintage light fixtures (which we DO correctly convert internally to modern electrical working household standards). Therefore some electrical and mechanical items MAY or may not perform and operate. We sell these as accurate display and collectible Vintage items. We suggest that these artifacts be used for display and not be operated. Please ask for more details on operability of our electrical and mechanical Antiques if operability is a concern.
