Thanks to Ken Johnson, who sent me these three scans. He says: "I'm sending you examples of three different styles of the Geraldton Strand Theatre upcoming movie hand-out cards. They're basically the same as the weekly promo ads that appeared in the Geraldton Times Star newspaper. It's possible they were printed on salvage card stock of different colours, but that's an assumption on my part. . . . . We used to pick them up as we bought our tickets at the theatre's ticket booth".
This show bill is no earlier than 1961, as that's when "Love in a Goldfish Bowl" was released.
"Dentist in the Chair", "Carthage in Flames",
"Passport to China", and "The Millionairess" were released in 1960, and
"Force of Arms" was released in 1951.
Show bill is from 1967 – "Celebrating Canada's Centennial".
Films advertised are: "Dear John" (1964), "The Million Eyes of Sumuru" (1967), "The Spy With a Cold Nose" (1966), and
"Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs" (1937).
Films advertised are: "Critic's Choice" (1963), "California" (1963), "Varan The Unbelievable" (1962), and "Donovan's Reef (1963).
