Awesome, dynamic ad scanned from my copy of the Savannah Evening Press, published on Thursday, Dec. 12, 1957. It really grabs your attention; "It slams you in the guts with a bellyful of lead!" Gee, I hope not.

Below is an ad for a local drive-in from the same paper. You can almost smell the popcorn and pizza, can't you?

Although I can't say that "Made in Mississippi with an All-Southern Cast!" makes me want to view that movie to any greater degree.

Carny

Scanned from the Atlanta Journal-Constitution edition from June 16, 1980.

Below are some of the movies advertised in the same paper that day.

Clipped from the Atlanta Constitution-Journal in September of 1971.

From June of 1972.

And below, a TV Guide spotlight on the movie when it came on TV. No date on this clipping but it was sometime in the late 70's.

The Red Badge Of Courage plus others from 1951

Scanned from my copy of the Kankakee, IL Sun-Journal, dated October 7, 1951.

Blood Of The Dragon

Clipped from the Macon Telegraph in December of 1973. Cool artwork!

"Nothing Like Oldies" article from 1951

From the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Sunday Sept. 16, 1951.

I Was A Teen-Age Frankenstein

Not a newspaper ad, but an admat reproduced in a monster movie magazine from the 70's.

1951's Rhubarb

This huge ad, a quarter of a page, was scanned from my copy of the Kankakee, Illinois Sun-Journal, dated Sunday, October 7, 1951. I don't know about the movie, but they don't make movie ads like this any more! More to come from this same newspaper soon.

And in case you come away from the ad curious about the meaning of the word, "aelurophobe," well, it would be more scrutable if it were the expected "felinephobe." Scat, cat!

The Man Who Loved Cat Dancing

Scanned from the Macon Telegraph, Oct. 31, 1973.

Enter The Dragon

Clipped in 1973 from the Macon Telegraph.

Battle For The Planet Of The Apes

(Click to view full-size.)

Clipped by my excited little 14 year old fingers from the Macon Telegraph in June of 1973. I was a latecomer to the whole Apes phenomenon, somehow missing all of it until this one came out. I quickly became a fan without even having seen any of the movies, as Ape-Mania was in full swing. The POTA magazine put out by Marvel the next year, coinciding with the new Apes TV show, became my monthly fix until I could catch them on TV whenever I was away from home.
