I’m trying to identify the three movie posters displayed outside the Heather Theatre in this photo.
The cars and overall look suggest the image may date from the late 1970s or early 1980s, but I have not been able to make out the titles.
Any help identifying the films would be appreciated!
This January 1960 local-station advertisement was placed by WBZ-TV, Channel 4—the NBC affiliate in Boston at the time—to promote its 7:00 p.m. Monday syndicated presentation of Brave Stallion. The series had originally premiered on NBC in 1955 as Fury, but was retitled Brave Stallion when sold into off-network syndication, helping distinguish local weekday-afternoon and early-evening airings from its network run. Produced for five seasons and 116 episodes between 1955 and 1960, the show was filmed extensively at the famed Iverson Movie Ranch in Chatsworth, California.
Brave Stallion centered on young orphan Joey Clark Newton, played by Bobby Diamond, who is adopted by widowed Broken Wheel Ranch owner Jim Newton, played by Peter Graves—years before Graves became widely known as Jim Phelps on Mission: Impossible. William Fawcett co-starred as the ranch’s crotchety but lovable hand, Pete Wilkey. The show’s true star was Highland Dale, also known as “Beaut,” the black American Saddlebred who played Fury, or the Brave Stallion. Joey shares a unique bond with the spirited horse: Fury permits no one else to ride him unless Joey approves or the person has earned the animal’s trust through a good deed. Week after week, Joey learned responsibility, hard work, and compassion on the ranch, with Fury often racing to the rescue when trouble arose.

Universal Pictures’ 1979 theatrical re-release lobby card for Steven Spielberg’s JAWS. This standard 11" x 14" U.S. scene card features Matt Hooper (Richard Dreyfuss) inside the anti-shark cage during the film’s unforgettable climax.
This is the R1979 re-release version—not an original 1975 NSS printing—and includes several distinctive details:
Solid teal vertical header panel at left, rather than the red or blue borders of the original 1975 cards
“THE ORIGINAL JAWS” printed above the title, emphasizing the film’s return following JAWS 2
Tagline at top: “IF YOU FORGOT WHAT TERROR WAS LIKE... IT’S BACK”
Secondary tagline: “See what you missed the first time... after you closed your eyes.”
Lower credit block marked “A UNIVERSAL RE-RELEASE”
