In 1940 Leo Gorcey and Bobby Jordan (two of the original Dead End Kids) left the group and formed The East Side Kids, with all new actors, and made 21 movies between 1940 and 1945. Included among the actors in the lead roles were Leo Gorcey, Bobby Jordan, David Gorcey (Leo's brother), Kenneth Howell, Carlton Young, Donald Haines, Eugene Francis, and Mary Ainslee If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this poster was printed by "Southern Poster Printing Co." A constant headache for theaters (especially those showing burlesque) was being sure of having movie posters for their current releases. Often, the posters would travel with the actual film prints, and sometimes the theater before them might have forgotten to include the poster, it might have been defaced or torn, etc. If a theater didn't have posters, it was very frustrating. Several companies began in the 1930s (Leader Press, the "other company" [Associated Displays Corporation], Woolever Press, etc) that made posters of their own for new releases, and they would provide a back up for theaters in case they didn't get a studio issued poster. Often the posters from these companies (with the exception of the "other company") were silk-screen posters, but they were often quite attractive, and virtually always had a completely different design from the regular studio issued poster. It is an absolute fact that posters from these companies are far more rare than the regular studio issued posters. It is also a certainty that these posters were issued when the movies were first released. In fact, they were created PRIOR to the movie's release, so that they could serve as teaser or advance posters (theaters rarely got the studio issued posters before receiving the actual movie). We have located an extremely rare original advertisement for Leader Press posters which clearly states that they were available to theaters a full two weeks prior to each movie's release. Sometimes these alternative printing posters have images that are the equal of those from the regular studio release posters. Note also that this one-sheet measures 28" x 41" [71 x 104 cm]. Condition: good to very good. There is writing on the back that slightly bleeds through to the front at upper center. Learn More about condition grades
