Note that this is a "stock" poster created by Republic Pictures for use for all chapters of their "Commando Cody" serial. Theaters would order this poster, which had a large blank rectangle in the bottom right. They would be sent a series of large paper snipes with the titles of specific chapters of the serial, and they could paste in each snipe as needed, thus getting many posters for the price of one. There were also stock posters from this serial that were overprinted with the names of the specific chapters, for theaters willing to purchase an entire set of them. This particular stock poster has a blank yellow area, indicating it likely was never used. What IS linenbacking?
