The complete The Squatter's Daughter Australian daybill designs.
The two above images of The Squatter's Daughter ( 1936 ) daybills are the two commonly seen versions that exist today. Neither of them are the versions first created for the films Australian first release on September 29, 1933.
( Everyones August 9, 1933 issue )The above images are what the missing original first release daybills look like ( minus the colour ). Will one or both copies of the daybills ever surface you have to wonder? I certainly hope so.

These above two designs are copies of the first release daybills in 1933.
Both images have British Empire Films printed on the bottom of the poster.
A British Empire Films logo that appears on the below, to what appears to be a lobby card issued in 1933. Then a newspaper advertisement placed for the 1933 Australian premiere showing the same British Empire Films logo.
( Everyones / Trove from 19 October 1935 )
The above Australian daybill has the Australian Distributors Ltd. film logo printed on it, and Associated Distributors only started trading under this name circa October 1935 as the above clipping states.
The Squatter's Daughter was released in Australia 29 September 1933 under the British Empire Films banner. As the above poster has a logo that didn't come into existence until two years later. This then has this poster as being printed at least at the earliest two years later at the end of 1935. if not later in the 1930's as a second printing. or a re-release. As I cannot locate that a re-release took place the poster would appear to be a second printed for the long run that the film had in Australia in the 1930's.
Somewhere out there hopefully exists an original British Empire Films daybill that one day an image will surface for, along with an original colour version of the following alternative poster version seen below. This duotone poster version would have been circulated sometime between September 1933 and October 1935.
