Ever walked past a theatre poster that made you do a double take? The Electric Modern Printing Co. Ltd. in Glasgow cranked out posters like this one for the Empire Theatre in ’63—bold colors, big fonts, just enough razzle to sell a week’s worth of shows. They knew a headline needed to feel urgent, even if the show inside was pure variety. Hunt down that 1963 Empire Theatre poster and you’ll see what I mean: a single sheet with the force of a marquee light.
