Cinema Announcement Slide- Season's Greetings

In the mid 20th century cinemas projected transparent slides onto their screen for a variety of reasons- mostly for advertising. However, the cinema management often used these slides for messages and announcements. This slide gives a festive greeting to its viewers. Given the lack of 'branding' we guess that it was used by an independent cinema rather than a large chain.

It was probably made and used between the 1930s and the 1950s.
