Description:
BOXOFFICE was the leading American exhibitor trade paper of the post-World War II era. But the publication had modest beginnings. In 1920, Ben Shlyen founded the paper, orginally titled THE REEL JOURNAL, in an office located in Kansas City's Film Row district. Like other regional exhibitor publications, THE REEL JOURNAL focused its attention on the local -- in this case, KC and the nearby territories that the city's distribution exchanges served. By the end of the 1920s, however, Shlyen had acquired or founded several more small exhibitor papers serving other US markets. In 1932, their titles all changed to BOXOFFICE, though they continued to be published in regional editions for decades to follow. -- Eric Hoyt, 2015

Everywhere in the world ...because it’s on film QUES. What do they do when it’s carnival time in Trinidad ? ANS. They have the time of their lives. They walk and talk; they prance and dance; they munch and lunch; they go to the movies — see the same shows you see — laugh and cry just as you did. For people are people everywhere — act like people, wherever they are. That’s why the picture made on film goes on and on until a world of people has been moved, stirred, cheered by it ! Yes, films tell and sell, are — when you come right down to it — just about our best good-will ambassadors. That’s why the investment of time, talent and fine materials is so important; why the Eastman Technical Service for Motion Picture Film is constantly on the alert to help the industry in solving questions of production, processing and projection.
