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

STAS CINEMA SUPPLY COMPANY, 459 W. 46th Streel New York City 19. Shorts Reviews Treasure House (Enthralling) RKO (73,111) This is America 15 mins. The behind-the-scene story of the world famous Smithsonian Institution in Washington tells how the Institution originated, many of its manifold activities are described and many of its more important exhibits are shown, sketchily, as is necessary when so many things are included in such a short resume. Exhibits of entomology, herptology, ichthyology, mammalogy, ornithology — respectively the studies of insects, reptiles, fish, animals and birds are highlights of the intensely interesting short subject. T-Men in Action (Informative) 20th-Fox March of Time 18 mins. With a forthcoming Eagle-Lion picture based on their exploits, the Treasury Department's T-Men are coming into their own as a subject of high public interest. In this new March of Time, their methods of apprehending dope peddlers, bootleggers, veterans' check forgers and income tax evaders are revealed, apparently for the first time. It is an informative and entertaining subject, and one that should get the support of federal government agencies in every community.
