An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded One-Sheet Newsreel Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41") (Learn More) International News, the 1920 (possibly 1921) Universal silent newsreel short featuring such headlines as "Pictures of the great disarmament conference in session, Inside views made with the aid of powerful sunlight arcs of the world's leading statesmen in one of the most momentous gatherings in history". International News was one of the series of newsreels released by Universal Studios from at least the early 1920s through 1967. The earliest newsreels we know of were called "International News", and Universal made one-sheets for those that had a series of headlines on them, but no image except for a cool border design (each newsreel ran from 7 to 10 minute newsreels that were released twice a week). Nearly all of them were filmed in black and white, and many were narrated by Ed Herlihy. In the 1930s and 1940s, they were called "Universal News Reel" and the posters for those also had headlines, and sometimes small images. In the 1950s and 1960s, they were called "Universal-International News". In 1976, the films' owner, MCA, made the unusual decision to turn over ownership of all of the newsreels to the National Archives. The decision effectively ended Universal's copyright claim, releasing the films into the public domain. Because royalties no longer have to be paid in order to broadcast them, Universal Newsreels have become a popular source of file footage in recent years. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: UPDATED 10/04/2011: Note that we initially listed the date of this item as 1930s. However, after further review, we believe that the date of this one-sheet is 1920 (possibly 1921) based on the cartoon short, the number of the newsreel (#93) and the subject matter! Condition: good to very good. There are water stains along some of the foldlines and there are some smudges and creases scattered throughout the poster. Learn More about condition grades
