Re: [MOPO] Just a quick question: 40 x 60 silkscreens from pre-WWII

i have handled about 10-12 over my 40 years, and i believe i have the distinction of selling stan caiden his final poster 3 days before his death, a silkscreen 40x60 for "ninotchka" that i found at a flea market near san francisco. i also believe these 40x60s and 30x40 silkscreens were something of a beginning for national screen service, who is credited as printer (not just distributor) on at least several of the ones i handled.

I know them from the pressbooks. I think I have seen 3 or 4 in all my days!

Maybe Grey or Ken or Ron Borst or Marty has seen more.

Presumably this means they printed many fewer of this size.  Bruce, have you handled many of these 40 x 60s from that era?  I don’t see them very often.  That’s why I wondered about this.  Thanks, Channing

They made one for virtually every 1930s movie. I think the answer lies in the fact that one-sheets were ten cents, three-sheets were fifteen cents, and forty by sixties were $1.50!

I bet almost no theaters ordered them, which would explain why so few survive.

Hello MOPOers — I was just wondering how common you think 40 x 60 silk screens (or offsets, if they made those) are for movies from before WWII?  I know there are lots of these from the late 40s and the drive-in era but I haven’t seen many pre-war.  Any thoughts on this?

Thans, Channing Thomson
