Batman Returns


Clipped from a Ft. Lauderdale paper in 1992.
Although I stopped clipping most newspaper ads after I got older (I didn't need to clip them when so much material was available, not like when I was a kid), I still did for some like this. Wish I had kept it up longer!

(Click on images to view full-size.)

Scanned from my copy of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution published February 21, 1954.

Below, an ad for another theater from the same paper. It's a testment to the changing times: today, a movie titled "3 Sailors And A Girl" would more than likely only be available in the back room of the local video store.
