film poster question

[Jack Kollmann]

Dear Charlotte,
         Are you possibly thinking of Rodchenko's 1924/25 poster
advertising books for LENGIZ?  It features a photo of a woman on the left
shouting "Books" into a megaphone pointed to the right.  It's quite famous
-- I've even seen post-Soviet advertising borrowing the design.  A 1924
version of Rodchenko's design is in D.A. Shmarinov, ed., et al., "A.M
Rodchenko, V.F. Stepanova," Moskva: Kniga, 1989, p. 102.  The more colorful
1925 version -- the one most often reproduced -- is in, among other places,
David Elliott, "Rodchenko and the Arts of Revolutionary Russia," NY:
Pantheon, 1979, pp. 18-19.
         Is this the poster you had in mind?
