If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know.

Important Added Info: Note that we have only previously auctioned one example of this Australian daybill, and that was 13 years ago! Note also that this poster has full-bleed borders on the left and right and top and has NOT been trimmed. This was done by RKO with their daybills in the 1940s and early 1950s. Advanced Australian collectors tell us that this is how all the daybills of this title were created. Please do not bid on this daybill thinking that it has been trimmed as it certainly was not.

Condition: very good to fine. The daybill is in really nice condition!
