BEVERLY HILLS, CA -
The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences is pleased to announce
that it has received a gift of 1,088 original movie posters from the
golden age of Hollywood filmmaking.  The posters have been donated by
Dwight Cleveland, a Chicago real estate developer, who has amassed one
of the largest and most historically significant collections of movie
posters in the world.

The donated posters document the studio era
of "B" movie filmmaking in the first half of the 20th century and
include examples from Twentieth Century-Fox.  A variety of genres are
represented, including westerns, war films, musicals, biblical tales,
and social problem films...
