- Description:
- A movie poster featuring "3 Kids and a Queen" starring May Robson. The poster also lists "Jungle Waters," a 1934 motion picture short on Florida swamp expert Ross Allen, and "Time for Love," a Fleischer Studios animated short film directed by Dave Fleischer. The poster dates from Sunday, Dec. 22, 1935, according to the release date of the films. Beginning during the Great Depression, it became common for neighborhood theaters to screen a variety of programs that would consist of trailers, newsreels, cartoons, or short films, along with low-budget second features ("B movies") and then the high-budget main features ( "A" movies). This kind of programming was due in part to "block booking," where major Hollywood studios required theaters to buy lower-quality B-movies along with the more desirable A-movies. "Block booking" was deemed illegal in 1948 (in the Supreme Court case United States v. Paramount Pictures, Inc.), though the practice of providing multiple features in movie theatres continued well until the late 1960s.
