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

Libby-Owens-Ford Glass Co., Nicholas Bldg., Toledo 3, Ohio Marsh Wall Products, Inc., Dover, Ohio Operating at 85 amperes, the Motiograph-Hall produces 19,000 lumens — more light than condenser-type high intensity lamps operating at more than twice this amperage. A rotating positive carbon (an exclusive feature) permits even burning of the carbons and a proper crater form. Automatic focus control holds the crater of the positive carbon at the exact focal poinl' of the mirror. The carbons used cost about one-third that of the larger carbons employed in condensertype lamps operating in the 140-180 ampere range. Other Motiograph products: 1 K.W. and 46-ampere high intensity arc lamps, projectors, sound systems, motor-generators, in-car speaker equipment and junction boxes, ramp switching panels for drive-ins, turntables, etc. See your Motiograph dealer for a demonstration or write for literature 4431 W.
