Description:
Established in 1933 by Charles 'Chick' Lewis, who previously edited the 'Manager's Round Table' section in Quigley's MOTION PICTURE HERALD. Lewis originally called his new publication SHOWMEN'S ROUND TABLE, but after a lawsuit from Quigley, he changed the title to SHOWMEN'S TRADE REVIEW (STR). Over the next two decades, STR proved to be a formidable competitor to Quigley's HERALD and steadily grew in circulation. It's easy to see why exhibitors wanted to subscribe. STR's editorial voice, reviews of features and shorts, 'Box Office Slant' tips for how to promote movies, and concise and well organized 'Booking Guides' made it a trustworthy and highly useful magazine for exhibitors. -- Eric Hoyt, 2014

What Need Is A Darn Good Laugh ^ Manpower shortage -ad rationing -all kinds of extra wartime effort-have put terrific pressure on the nation's showmen. To relieve the strain, as an industry welfare measure, Paramount invites you and the entire exhibition personnel of this business to take twenty minutes time out to laugh your head off. Whether or not you are in the market for a new short series, catch a screening of the two latest "Jasper's Boobytraps" and "Hatful of Dreams" COLOR We'll match them on a laugh-per-minute basis against the funniest feature ever filmed. They prove how right you were in voting Puppetoons the best short series of the year in Boxoffice Barometer's Poll. See them -absolutely without obligation just for fun. Paramount 5^ THE BIG SHO TS
