Original Vintage Theatrical Linenbacked One-Sheet (measures 27" x 41") (Learn More) Universal News Reel No. 252, the 1943 news short ("The Talk of the World"; "Anywhere Anytime"; "The Newspaper Newsreel with the Talking Reporter") featuring headlines such as "Yanks in Italy", "New Bougainville Action", "Railroad Disaster", "Cat is Mother Dog", "Tropical Park Opens"; "and other news thrills". Note that we do not know the exact date of this newsreel, but given the references to the war in Italy and Japan, it is clearly from November or December 1943. A collector did some research on us, and told us that based on "Yanks in Italy" and "New Bougainville Action", the newsreel is likely from around December 16, or perhaps a week or two earlier. Universal News Reel 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. In the 1930s and 1940s, they were called "Universal News Reel" and those also had headlines, and sometimes small images. Nearly all of them were filmed in black and white, and many were narrated by Ed Herlihy. 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: This poster has been professionally linenbacked. It now looks great, and most dealers would describe it as "fine (or mint) on linen". We have noted the defects that were restored below (and feel everyone should always do this!). Many collectors would not be aware of the restoration this poster has had unless it was specifically shown to them! Condition: very good. Prior to linenbacking, this poster was in very good condition. Whoever linenbacked it did not leave any excess linen, but it has not harmed the poster any. Aside from very minor restoration on the foldlines it appears next to no restoration was done (or. Most of the linenbacked posters we sell were restored by the finest professionals. An expertly linenbacked poster will often appear "mint", as its defects have been made to "vanish". We are the only seller we are aware of who always tries to describe the condition of the poster prior to being linenbacked, so you are fully aware of what restoration was performed.
