This poster is a tall, rectangular sheet with bold red and black text on a yellowish background. It advertises a show at the Newport Empire Theatre, listing acts like Hal Swain and his Radio Star Band, plus dancers and comedians. The prices for seats are printed at the bottom in small type, with numbers like "2/-" and "1/6". The poster’s bright colors and simple shapes make it easy to read from a distance. It looks like something you’d see outside a theater in the 1930s. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more posters like this.
