Auction History Result 3g504 MELODY MASTER BANDS one-sheet '32 Vitaphone short, really great artwork of sexy band major! Date Sold 1/1/2009 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41") (Learn More) Melody Master Bands, the 1932 Vitaphone musical short subject ("Saturday night swing club") series that featured music from Clyde McCoy, Larry Clinton, Dave Apollon, Jimmy Dorsey, Clyde Lucas, Rubinoff, and Dona Drake (billed as "Rita Rio"). Apparently, this series began in 1932, and Vitaphone made a stock one-sheet that year. They apparently made a completely different stock one-sheet every other year until at least 1948! The ones we have seen are from 1932, 1936, 1940, and 1948 (so we know the series ran for at least those years!). If anyone knows more about this series, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Note that this is a "stock" poster created by Vitaphone for use for all entries of their "Melody Master Bands" series. Theaters would order this poster, which had a blank area at the bottom. They would be sent a series of large paper snipes with the titles of specific entries of the series, and they could paste in each snipe as needed, thus getting many posters for the price of one. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Condition: very good. There is some paper loss and separation along the foldlines. The bottom 6" of the poster was folded back at one time. There are a few pinholes scattered throughout the poster. Learn More about condition grades
