NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that this is one of the coolest special heralds ever! It is a stiff card with an artwork image of a newsboy holding up a sign, and "under his arm" (created by two slits in the paper) is a folded up 3 1/2" x 4 1/2" sheet giving information about the movie currently playing (see our images). What makes this so cool is that people had to actually assemble these by hand, one at a time, and most theaters probably used many hundreds, if not thousands of them! Condition: very good.
