<p>[QUOTE="Figtree3, post: 848890, member: 33"]You might want to search "silent movie program" or "silent movie advertisement." Without the quotes, and just in the titles. I looked and see some that sold, although most of the ones I see have more illustrations. Prices for the plainer ones tend to be relatively modest ($10-$20) although it might vary by what somebody is looking for.</p><p><br /></p><p>The word "playbill" in eBay unfortunately for this search brings up lots and lots of issues of the publication called Playbill that comes with theatrical performances, not with movies. So probably isn't too good to use unless you are being very thorough.</p><p><br /></p><p>Back in those days they also called movies either motion pictures or photoplays (the latter if the movie was a filmed version of a play). And I see that yours don't even call them that. Either "picture" or "feature" are the two terms I see on yours. And "Photodrama." That term is new to me![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
