An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41" [69 x 104 cm]) (Learn More) Treasures from Trash, the 1946 Dave O'Brien (billed as "David Barclay") comedy short (one of the "Pete Smith Specialty" series; this one about collectors who find valuable collectibles in trash cans and in odd places) starring Harry Lachman, and Dave O'Brien, and narrated by Pete Smith (note that Smith first started producing short subjects in 1931, when they were referred to as "Pete Smith Specialties"; he made an astounding 155 of these over the next 24 years, narrating 135 of them, and sometimes he was billed as "a Smith named Pete"; the shorts covered a wide range of unusual subjects, kind of like "Ripley's Believe It or Not"). Note that director Dave O'Brien was better known as Dave 'Tex' O'Brien, and he appeared in many B-westerns as an actor. In the mid-1940s, as his western career wound down, he turned to directing (and providing voices for) many animated shorts, including lots of Pete Smith Specialties!
