Original Gone with the Wind posters exhibited


Some of the original hand-painted movie posters from the 1939 premier of "Gone With the Wind" are on display now through May at the Washington Historical Museum, said curator Stephanie Macchia. "With the help of the Grassroots Arts Program of Georgia, the museum will feature a most exciting premier showing of Herb Bridges' newest collection, a group of hand-painted poster boards from the Loew's Grand theater from the 1930s and 1940s." The collection includes some favorite movies and Hollywood movie stars, including some of the original poster boards used for the Atlanta premier in 1939, she said. "Come see these rare and beautiful movie displays and hear the story of how Mr. Bridges acquired this one-of-a-kind collection." Bridges will take part in several signings and other events on Spring Tour of Homes weekend. See the article on page 3A.
