An Original Vintage Theatrical Movie Herald (measures 7" x 18 1/4" [18 x 46 cm]; 2 pages) (Learn More) Reefer Madness, the 1936 Louis J. Gasnier marijuana marihuana pot weed drug thriller ("Marijuana drugs, Weed from the Devil's garden!"; "One moment of bliss, a lifetime of regret!"; "Hunting a thrill, they inhaled a drag of concentrated sin!"; "Wake up America! Here's a roadside weed that's fast becoming a national high-way!"; "Women cry for it, men die for it!"; "What actually happens!"; "Never before such exciting frankness"; "A Daring Theme!"; "Dope-created ecstasy avalanching into frightful perversions"; "Makes Beasts of Men & Women"; "Adults only") starring Dave O'Brien, Dorothy Short, Carlton Young, Kenneth Craig, and Lillian Miles. Note that drug and mature movies like these were extremely popular in "late night" showings at small town theaters throughout the 1940s, and they were often re-issued and re-named multiple times. In the case of this movie, it was re-issued under titles such as "The Burning Question" and "Tell Your Children", each time with lurid images and taglines! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that we have never before auctioned a herald for this movie! As noted above, this movie clearly played for several years in small town roadshow showings. This herald is from a roadshow distributor, Albert Dezel Roadshows, from when they first started booking the movie, but there is no way to know exactly when it is from (but it certainly has great images and incredible text on both sides, including many taglines we have never seen before, including "America's Newest and Saddest Social Problem"!). If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Note that this is one of a remarkable collection of 31 heralds we are currently auctioning (in 31 separate auctions). They were collected over many decades, and include many wonderful horror ones, plus other very top titles. If one tried to duplicate this collection, it would likely take many years to do so! Condition: very good to fine. The herald has a tiny tear in the top and bottom blank borders and has some minor creases and scuffs but is generally in really nice condition!
