Thanks Grey ( and all)!
I only have one old pre WWII 40 x 60. It is Red
River Valley (1941) w/Roy Rogers. It is in poor
shape, but as Richard described previously, mine
is delightfully garish and overstated. It is
silkscreen on heavy, but super dilapidated paper.
It has no printer or distribution info, which is
not super surprising, as Republic wasnât yet
part of the NSS signatory companies, but this
prompts a question on my part, which you seem to have helped answer.
As Bruce mentioned, he knows these images mostly
from the pressbooks, having directly handled
only a very small number of super old 40x60âs.
Bruce is certainly the pressbook maven. However,
I don't recall seeing much about 40x60's in my
admittedly small pressbook collection for
westerns, serials or B movies. Â It makes sense
that some of these (like my Roy Rogers) were
done independently or outside of the studio
publicity dept. Nonetheless, I am wondering if
there have to be cases where the 40x60 isnât
mentioned or shown in the studio pressbook, even
though some exchanges would have had them from
official sources/ Might the studios might have
authorized some of them on a case by case basis
after the initial pressbook campaign was printed
and distributed?  Anyone know more? Thanks to all. Very interesting. Â

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 donât see
them very often. Thatâs 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 havenât
seen many pre-war. Any thoughts on this?
Thans, Channing Thomson
