1938 North American Handbill

It was during a recent attic clean-out of an old house in Pittsfield, New Hampshire that this 1938 Snow White handbill was discovered inside an old book. "Man, woman or child...it will amaze you, charm you, thrill you..."

Front Unfolded

The flyer was advertising the June 12-14 screenings of Snow White at the Scenic Theatre in Pittsfield. Four other films of the day are also mentioned...Wild Horse Rodeo, Midnight Intruder, Walking Down Broadway, and Penitentiary.

Handbill measures unfolded to a size of 12" x 9".

Inside Unfolded

It was found in this envelope which was sent out by the Scenic Theatre. The delivery address is marked "Box Holder" so it was probably part of a mass promotional mailing for the film.

Special thanks to Bill Cushing for the info and the use of his images.
