Sunday Times-Signal (Zanesville, OH), December 5, 1928
This is the earliest mention of Potemkin that we could find, in an article in the
right column. It’s surprising to see that Douglas Fairbanks loved the show, and
that Director Eisenstein was only 27 at the time. But you knew that. A Buster Keaton
movie, "The Battling Butler" also mentioned in the lower right of the page.

Constitution-Tribune, (Chillicothe, MO), December 28, 1928
A lovely period page with a Clara Bow photo, movie summaries and ads. The copy in
the Naughty Baby ad would get the writer thrown out of Sardi’s nowadays.

Constitution-Tribune, (Chillicothe, MO), April 22, 1933
A big photo and article, containing the "Staggering Statistics on King Kong" which
explains just how big he is (which ignores the fact that he was really a tiny model),
plus a half dressed Fay Wray in the ad and the dubious admonition "We... especially
urge parents to accompany their children."

They claim that it's the biggest picture of 1940, but we know now that "Gone With

Joplin Globe (Joplin, MO), May 4, 1952
African Queen featured lower right but there’s a lot more on this one: an Elizabeth
Taylor starlet-era photo in "Love is Better than Ever", "The Great Diz" which we’re
guessing is about Dizzy Dean, and a bunch of chatty movie summaries and photos.
And a nice piece about Jan Sterling’s "it’s purely a business matter" new nose.

Albuquerque Tribune (Albuquerque, NM), April 22, 1954

Seven, A Raisin in the Sun, Ben Hur, and the Horror Chamber of Doctor Faustus. Something
for everyone.
