Re: Questions for Bruce-EMP
Yes, it certainly is ultra rare and a great designHONDO said:
The impressive above Australian daybill of the 1957 film The Smallest Show On Earth is currently one of 41 Australian posters included there on your newly included Tuesday auctions. This poster should be credited as being ultra rare as all your nine Australian daybills that you have sold in the past are not this original design, but are for a 1970's Australian re-release design, therefore making the above original design ultra rare. I thought you would like to know this information.

Re: Double Bill Daybills
Yes, it appears that way. It would have been great to see more double bill daybills. There would have been lots of double features over the years including B Grade and sexploitation films.

Re: Hondo's This And That
The above image is of Blake Edwards as he appeared in the 1949 western film Panhandle. Apart from some early minor acting roles he was of course renowned as being a very famous film producer, director and writer.

I think 273 is First Men in the Moon. If not, this movie had very similar aliens!
