TILLIE'S PUNCTURED ROMANCE (1914) 43 In the gay nineties, Huber's Museum, on West Fourteenth Street, in New York, offered entertainment for man and beast that included a penny arcade, a vaudeville show, and a museum of horrors, complete with a dried mermaid. Later, rechristened Crystal Hall, it became one of Loew's earliest pic ture houses, though still retaining the penny arcade and the vaudeville show. Here it is, as it appeared in 1914. The feature is an Italian-made film. At the lower left you may discern an advertisement of the secondary feature, The Perils of Pauline, which ran, concurrently with the film, as a newspaper serial.
