Auction History Result 7y054 IT'S MOVIETIME, U.S.A. linen 3sh '52 Celebrating the Golden Jubilee of American Movie Theatre Date Sold 6/9/2015 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked Three-Sheet Movie Poster (3sh; measures 41" x 81" [104 x 206 cm]) (Learn More) It's Movietime, U.S.A., the 1951 movie theater promotion ("Celebrating the Golden Jubilee of the American Movie Theatre!"; "Movie time"; "Go to a movie theatre today!"; "Golden jubilee attractions coming your way!") made to encourage people to go to the movies! Note that the poster for this poster is undated, and it mentions the "Golden Jubilee of the American Movie Theatre", which would seem to be the 50th anniversary. But exactly when did "movie theaters" begin? Apparently they thought it was 1901, because we have seen the pressbook for this promotion, and it tells that the promotion began in October 1951 and continued into 1952. The pressbook explains how the 23,000 theaters participating in this "Golden Jubilee" promotion were showing 50 different current and recent release movies, and it has advertising about those 50 movies. If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good to fine. The poster had tiny paper loss at just a few crossfolds and a very few creases, scuffs, and tiny tears on parts of some foldlines. Overall, the poster was in very good to fine condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was nicely backed, and displays well! Learn More about condition grades
