Newspaper created as a prop for a movie...
NEW YORK CHRONICLE, no date. This is obviously a movie "prop" newspaper created for a movie made in the year, or about the year, 1933 given the banner headline: "PROHIBITION REPEALED !" with a subhead: "President Signs Bill Legalizing Liquors". The balance of the content is just filler material to give the newspaper a "genuine" look from the period.
Four pages, toning at the central fold & spine, generally good condition.
