Movie Heralds
Movie heralds were a commonly used form of advertising and were handed out to potential patrons outside the theater. Here's the front and back of an Ambersons herald.
This Spanish herald (front and back) is from the Cine Mundial. Ambersons (called El 4.o Madamiento in Spanish) wasn't released in Spain until 1945. Ambersons played as a double feature with Viviendo al reves.
Another Spanish herald, from the Aliater Cinema.
