Any idea the printers on the Wheeler and Woolsey and the Wednesday's Child?
Both the Kentucky Kernels and Wednesday's Child daybills were photographed in 2003 by Emovieposter and unfortunately I have found out that these are the largest images available for us to see now from that year. Most likely one would think Simmons, but unless other copies turn to confirm this up we will never know.
This is part of an Everyone's 8 page spread promoting King Kong. Lawrence did refer to a trade ad for Wednesday's Child which was also from Everyone's magazine. Not sure what significance should be placed on the logo in the ad but it is worth showing here. You would think that there would be a possibility that a photo of King Kong posters outside a cinema in Australia is in one of the Everyone's magazines. I still think the King Kong daybill is a later release which is pretty much what has been said throughout this thread.

Speaking of daybill design ive always felt a bit disappointed about the design for Day the Earth Stood Still.. the aussi one sheet is awesome but super rare. Wish the daybill was like the insert. Love the movie but what paper to pursue!!

Here is an image outside an Australian cinema but too murky, and with nothing that resembles an RKO logo to be seen.
Ziegfeld Follies ( 1945 ) extremely rare, and the first one I have sited, Australian one sheet currently up for auction. Very nice design, but personally I prefer an alternative U.S.A. one sheet design that MGM didn't decide to use in Australia. Anyone agree?
Something to note is the left hand holding the telephone. Look a little odd to you?
Australian trade advertisement from The Film Weekly dated August 19, 1943, advertising the first screening of Casablanca in Adelaide, S.A. on September 3, 1943. South Australia along with Western Australia in November 1943 were the only two states to screen the film before March 2, 1944 when the film won the best picture award oscar.

The film is called Phantom Of The Opera after all, so where is the phantom on the daybill. Oh, of course he must have been in his lair.
