If you think this Cole Bros poster for Billie Powell looks more than a little like Con Colleano you're right! This one-sheet dates from 1946 - and had been used with by Cole Bros (with Colleano's name on it) the preceeding season.

Wow! Very interesting. I had no idea that my dad was featured on poster. He spelled his name with a Y for the record.

Where did this come from? Who has the original. Any chance of getting a copy?
