An Original Vintage Exhibitor Magazine (measures 11 3/4" x 17 3/4" [30 x 45 cm]; 2 pages) (Learn More) RKO Short Subject Showmanship, the 2-page magazine that was first published by RKO in June of 1941. We are not sure how this was distributed! It measures 11 3/4" x 18" and had just two pages, so it would seem like it was perhaps inserted into pressbooks, but that is just a guess. We also don't know if there was ever more than one issue, because the only one we have ever seen is volume 1, number 1! It contains lots of little articles about RKO's then-upcoming short subjects, including a list of the four Disney cartoons coming that month, which which two Donald Ducks and two Plutos. If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Important Added Info: Note that this item, along with many others, has a wonderful provenance! It comes from a remarkable collection of original 1940s Walt Disney pressbooks, mini lobby cards, and standees that just surfaced! Not only are all of these items extremely rare ones that are hardly ever auctioned, but they almost all are in really nice condition. The origin of these items is even more fascinating. Our consignor attended these movies as a young boy (he is currently over 80!), and a kindly theater owner gave him these items, and he has carefully preserved them all these many years, until now, when he has consigned them directly to us! We previously auctioned the original stills he had in our auction in May of 2016, and now we are auctioning the rest of his items. This is an incredibly rare opportunity to obtain some of the finest Disney pressbooks, mini lobby cards, and standees we have ever seen, and all of them will have new owners when these auctions close, because all start at $1 with no reserve. In addition to the items from this man's collection (saved from when it was a little boy over 70 years ago!), we also gathered together lots of other rare animation related movie paper items of all types, and together this is a wonderful offering of movie animation items! Many of these items will likely not be auctioned again for many years to come! Condition: very good. There are some creases at the top of the page. REMEMBER THAT THIS "MAGAZINE" HAS JUST 2 PAGES!
