They usually have a look at the theatre ads and the comics page along with some interesting stories of the past. (They recently had a number of reprints of articles on Raymond Chandler that appeared over the years). Take a look at this page of theatre ads. I love the ad art and the double feature combinations. http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/.a/6a00d8341c630a53ef01156eb7f2d3970c-pi

Under the "Studio Briefs" heading, the first item is a promotion of Columbia's "Adventures of Sir Galahad" serial. Check it out!

Balcony Gang, Foist Class Posts: 217 Group: Members Member #287 Joined: October 4, 2007	I found out that you can't enlarge the ad by using the link I posted above. You can enlarge it by going to the main blog page of The LA Times Daily Mirror blog page and scrolling down to the ad. Here's the link to the website. There's lots of great reading there and a reminder of the Glory Days of America's Newspapers. http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/thedailymirror/
