Newspaper created for a motion picture...
Item # 683721
September 03, 1939
THE STAR DISPATCH--EXTRA, An interesting movie prop newspaper which was created for a motion picture, obviously one with an early World War II theme. There is no date, however England declared war against Germany on September 3, 1939. But the movie could well have been made in the 1950's or 1960's.
Not a "real" newspaper in the typical sense as the title and the content are very generic. Note there is no city or state in the dateline. Typically it was only the created headline which was seen in the movie. In this case the banner headline announces: "ENGLAND DECLARES WAR ON GERMANY! " The balance of the text in the issue is simply nonsensical "filler" material to make the issue appear as a regular newspaper.
Four pages, minor margin wear, an archival mend at the blank spine, some fold toning, generally good condition.
