I suspect that the original titles were set using moveable, wooden type—the kind a local print shop would still be using in the late 1950s for printings posters and signs (phototypesetting was still relatively new then, and significantly more expensive).

Headline Gothic is quite similar, but has no lowercase.

Royal Street is also similar (though less of a match for the quotation marks).
