										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>One problem with collecting this stuff so haphazardly over so many years is that almost none of it has any kind of provenance. I get something from someone who collects all sorts of film memorabilia in order to resell it to the one person who might want a particular item&#8230; and that&#8217;s generally as far back as it goes. No information as to the genuine origin of anything. So, most of what I can say about any item is from observation and inference.</p>

<p>This is an 8 x 10 inch black and white negative transparency, containing an approximately 9 1/2 x 6 1/4 inch image of the <a href="http://robinjohnson.net/wp/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/2-sided-poster-unfolded-75pct_1080px.jpg" data-rel="lightbox-image-1" data-rl_title="" data-rl_caption="" title="">poster side</a> of the <a href="https://robinjohnson.net/wp/the-mystery-of-the-double-sided-poster-side-two/">two-sided promotional foldout designed by Seiniger &#038; Associates</a>, with the addition of the words &#8220;suitable for mature audiences.&#8221; That&#8217;s a description and as much as I can swear to being actual fact. Based on that, I&#8217;ll say that since this sort of transparency was used to print ads in newspapers and magazines, this was used to print an ad promoting <em>Times Square</em> in a publication aimed at movie theater owners and bookers. I don&#8217;t know of any such publication, but it&#8217;s hard to believe that such a thing did not exist, and may yet exist. So there may still be out there a catalog of all the upcoming movie releases for 1980 that you may want to run at your theater, containing an extra full page ad for <em>Times Square</em> before the poster design was finalized. Or maybe not, since until such a thing turns up there&#8217;s no evidence this ad actually ran anywhere.</p>
