Great unknown poster to me, until now, and thanks for sharing
This rare Don Bradman In How I Play Cricket long daybill was released in 1932 and is a short film. After doing some checking found this unframed image of the poster.
Here's a challenge for Lawrence? Any detail about these eureka Stockade daybills? The second one I own, but the top one just turned up with a friend. I hadn't seen it before. Both Smith printer so maybe two dfferent images were done at the same time?

Both daybills I am sure would have been printed at the same time. I base this on the following.
A ) The ''Distributed in Australia and New Zealand by British Empire Films'' credit in this form was only used in this format for a short period of time which included the time Eukeka Stockade was released in Australia.
B ) Both films designed by Frank Tyler.
C) BEF were known from the 1930s through to the 1960s to produce for some of their bigger titles two different first release daybill versions, Many examples are available to check out by searching the forum thread ''Two different original styles of the same daybill designs.''
D ) Both the ''For General Exibition'' censorship presention are the same.
E ) The tagline of ''Sweeping drama of Australian's gold rush appears'' on both posters.
F) The original Australian one sheet poster resembles more the newly found daybill version than the earlier known daybill version.
Your daybill version has been viewable for a long time, so this new daybill version find has to be super rare. .
# 12 ( a ). It Isn't Done ( 1937 ) daybill. # 12 ( b ). It Isn't Done ( 1937 ) one sheet.
Both very desirable Australian film posters of this title.

)
An advance Australian printed teaser 24 sheet of
It Isn't Done. This style of poster was displayed only briefly in 1937, before being replaced by a regular 24 sheet version of the film.
Original Australian daybill of A Son Is Born ( 1946 ) and modern day usage of a poster also original, but I am unaware of the original origins of this poster. Is it a one sheet poster or perhaps some trade magazine advertising?

Tall Timbers ( 1937) original Australian daybill and 24 sheet
reproduction poster.
Tall Timbers 1953 Australian re-release daybill and one sheet posters. A
more superior artwork presentation was applied to the one sheet by the
printer F. Cunninghame. than they did with the daybill.
It appears that the re-release one sheet was adapted from the original
1937 one sheet artwork. The re-release daybill though is interesting in that
the actors original credits are completely switched around in their order of
presentation
Two Minutes Silence ( 1933 ) publicity poster artwork similar to the Australian 6 sheet film poster. This example should give you an idea as to what the three reproduction posters following below would hace looked like in colour. And also a trade magazine advertisement placed for the film on January 31, 1934.
Extremely rare Waltzing Matilda ( 1933 ) Australian daybills. These posters were discovered, and had been used to cover the walls in one room, when renovating a cottage in Tasmania about now 13 years ago. They were stuck to hessian face down for 75 years.
There were multiple copies of other circa 1933 daybill posters discovered as well. They were originally from the local Paragon Theatre in Queenstown, which had opened in 1933.
I am sure the Australian National Film And Sound ( NFSA ) Archive would love a copy of a Waltzing Matilda daybill which they could restore.
If you haven't visited the forum thread from August 2018 titled ''My fave find!'' which covered the find, or would like to revisit. it is well worth while doing so.

( Everyones September 30, 1936 edition / Trove ). This 24 sheet White Death poster would have looked great when originally displayed.
( Everyones November 18, 1936 edition / Trove ). Is the above an original theatrical one sheet?
Everyones August 26, 1936 issue / Trove ),
What the Australian 24 sheet looked like.
There must be a daybill out there somewhere.
Best I can come up with. Anyone have a clearer larger image of the poster?
What an Australian colour daybill would have looked like.
