Before moving on to new things, I'd like to point out that NoDS played in several different areas of the country throughout August of '71. Obviously it played in my area both the weeks of August 4-10 and August 25-31. But thanks to our very own KMR we know that it also played in MI the week pf August 4-10. And thanks to a sample of newspapers once auctioned off on the Heritage Auctions Web site, it's known that NoDS played in Memphis, TN and surrounding areas the week of August 11-17. And thanks to
a posting of a NoDS newspaper ad on Pinterest, it's known that it played in and around Philadelphia, PA as well as parts of NJ the week of August 18-24. And thanks to an interview with Grayson and Sam Hall that appeared in the San Francisco Examiner that was also posted to Pinterest (in two parts:
part 1,
part 2) it's known that NoDS played in the San Francisco, CA area the week of August 25-31. (And it does seem a bit odd that their interview was published two weeks before NoDS opened - but one presumes there was method to the madness.)
And the following photo may or may not have been published along with that article -

- but it does seem as if it was taken the same day as the photo featured with the article because Grayson and Sam appear to be -
- wearing the same clothes...
And it probably won't surprise anyone that all the newspaper ads I've seen from the various areas mentioned above all used some version of the B poster. Theaters did love those B poster ads in the NoDS Pressbook!
