Hi Folks,
I still have the "An American In Paris" one sheet and Three Sheet that
was displayed at the Colonial Theatre in Keene, NH, upon it's grand
renovation opening.(early 50's) The film ran for a week which was
unusual in those days. The best films of the day, perhaps would run
Sunday through Wednesday at the most. I'm talking about cities that
had two or three theatres; not sure about major
cities.................they perhaps had longer runs...............Nice
memories........Vaughn

Hi, Tom, from Joe B in New Orleans.
I can't trace this poster's entire history but:
I own a US half-sheet for the Fox CinemaScope epic about the
Spaniards in early California (with Michael Rennie as Father Serra),
"Seven Cities of Gold." I acquired it from New Orleans friend about
5 or 6 years ago.
On the rear of the poster is written in pencil, "Joy Theater,
Vicksburg, Miss." This would be my home town theatre where this film
played in the late 1950s upon its release.
I saw it there as a teenager and, as I used to carefully peruse the
poster display, there is no question that I looked at this particular
poster.
So I own a poste I looked at on display over fifty years ago.

warehouse FIND circa 1980 well. this is 100% TRUE story ...
I can tell you some storys of warehouse finds of all kinds of
stuff because when i started ther wasnt a internet
and we just would list stuff in magazines and call people... it
was very funny now that I think about it..
well one of my largest finds was found on the day Reagan was
shot by Hinckley... I was in Downtown
Toledo at the Hirsh bookstore.. Maury Hirsh was selling out .. He
stated in 1924 with a Model t truck and a street vendor magazine
stand.. I still have a pic of that stand he gave me..
well Maury and his wife had a great toledo legendary Bookshop
and he was quite the businessman.
well I didnt attend the sale to like the last week,,, and when I
got there i noticed losts of old things
and on the counter was a box of 1940s postcards unused lined and
some wher ww2 and some comic cards and some old black racial type
and anti hitler... Most were of scenes of Toledo OHIO
well.. he wanted 35 cents a piece..... I said ILL take em
all.....and then I asked " Do You have any MORE??"
Well he looked and said SONNY come this way..... he took me in
some room and there were 100 unopened boxes of 1000 in each
box..... there were folder postcards you name it......
so he said take all 300 a box,,, I think,,,,,
well they were so heavy when i loaded my van,,, that I blew out a
tire in the middle of downtown
and cold jack the van up so i had to hire a tow truck as I was
waiting the radio announced Regan was
shot.. then my bettery went dead.... so I thought great now
what////
Anyways I also bought magazines he had saved from the 30s and 40s
UNREAD like new,..
and some old toys...
What amazed me is that all during the sale this stuff was
availible and none inquired,,,,
I sold these for years and years to collectors and stores and all
over... actually I still have about 1000
First MOPO preson to email me.. Ill pop some in the mail to YOU

I often wonder how the old posters have survived all these
years. I'm talking about posters from the 1910's, 20's and
30's.<?xml:namespace prefix = o />
Who was saving these things? It's not like they were worth
any money. The original owners were probably long gone by
the time these posters became valuable.
I'm curious to know if most posters survived mostly because
they were in some movie theater/studio warehouse or if it
was just regular people who had a couple posters in their
house over the years
I'd also like to know if anyone has ever been able to trace
the history of a specific poster that they own all the way
to the actual movie theater where the poster was displayed
during the films original run.
