Asides - One Sheets, Half Sheets, Lobby Cards, Window Cards, Inserts

One (27 x 41 in.), two (41 x 54 in.) and three (41 x 81 in.) sheets, display sheets (22 x28 in.), lobby cards (11 x 14 in.), window cards (14 x 22 in.), and inserts (14 x 36 in.), all designed to get you intrigued and into the theater. Since the mid 80's, lobby cards, window cards, and inserts went down with the demise of the single or double feature movie house. However, in the 20's and 30's... This post has an assortment of promotional material for films with actresses we have featured on this blog. Some are lesser known films by well known actresses. Each film is linked to its IMDB page.
