Jaws 3sh I've seen sold by john and i have one in my collection. I'm sure there are others around, but I've never seen another Dial M for Murder daybill. I like the Nullabor Nymph!
I had two Jaws 3 sheets and I know of at least one more. Rick, you can send me that Dial M for Murder!
Watched 39 Steps on TV just recently. Guy on NSW mid north coast has a number of Charlie Chan Aust 3 sheets. They are framed and on display in his cinema. I had pics but can't find anymore.
Could this be one of the earliest Robert Burton posters printed considering it was released in 1955 (according to IMDB) or perhaps it was released later in Australia?

Please keep searching as it would be great to see them. Where is the cinema?

This film was from an episode of the T.V. series of Warner Bros. Presents , which rotated three individual series, being Cheyenne, Kings Row and the one this episode is from, Casablanca. Charles McGraw played Rick this 1955 episode. Titles from Cheyenne and Kings Row were also released in Australia. Many other television series had episodes released in australia and around the rest of the world as well. Perhaps a separate thread may be in order here. If anyone is interested let me know ? Don't be fooled by Robert Burton happening to be the printer. This poster is either 1957 or 1958, well within the period Burton was printing film posters in Australia. You may be surprised at the number of television episodes that were screened theatrically in Australia in the late 1950's and the 1960's on the supporting programs. Some of this material only ran a brief 30 minutes. Some of the titles are easy to come across today, but some are rare, as is Hand Of Fate and the only copy I have seen, and some haven't surfaced at all. Finally to answer Sven's other question - "Why would a daybill be produced for a TV show? To make a dollar I assume, as the titles were from film studios such as Warner Brothers, Columbia ( screen Gems ) and 20th Century Fox. Another reason was possibly a shortage in shorter running time material around this period of time. Into the sixties longer running T.V. series such as The Virginian had some episodes screened in Australia as well.

I forget his name but John probably knows him. He's been around for ages in cinema trade. Think he was near Kew or that sort of area.
Those are the posters. He buys old stock daybills and uses them for advertising in the foyer. Also collects vintage press books and stuff that relate to projection. Likes a good chinwag!

From another image I viewed of inside the cinema, it reveals it has some nice looking framed daybill posters hanging on the wall, including John Wayne's The Northerner ( Dakota ) ( Sorry Chris ), Gentleman's Agreement, Reap The Wild Wind and the only copy of a Monogram / BEF title called The Mystery of The 13th Guest from 1943 that I have ever seen. I will have to check out the cinema next time I am travelling up that way. Great that a cinema of this style is still operating in Lauriton, a small country town of only 1931 or so people.
Great pics of that cinema thanks for digging them up. Are the 3 sheets in questions US or Aussie? They look US to me based on the small glimpse that is visible...
Also Lawrence the Mystery of the 13th Guest is no mystery (if we're talking about the daybill anyways). There are a few copies around including mine:
