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

ll •I t ! “LAWRENCE OF ARABIA” is an epic film in the tradition of “Ben Hur” and “Around the World in 80 Days”. After 4 years of work and 19 months of shooting, Sam Spiegel and David Lean call it “the most exciting film they’ve ever produced.” Every shot in the picture was conceived specifically for the tremendous impact of the big 70mm screen. And it will be available only to those theatres equipped to show it as it is meant to be shown. A Columbia Pictures release, “Lawrence” is one of many great attractions released or planned in 70mm. To cash in on them, you must be equipped to show them in all their spectacular brilliance. With Norelco Universal 70/35 projectors, you not only have the world’s finest and most thoroughly proven 70mm equipment — but in less than 4 minutes you also have the most modern, rugged and trouble-free 35mm mechanism, too ! For today and tomorrow, Norelco 70/35 is your wisest investment. /yorelci, MOTION PIOTURE EQUIPMENT DIVISION NORTH AMERICAN PHILIPS COMPANY. INC. 100 EAST 42ND STREET, NEW YORK 17.
