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

ARE YOU GUILTY OF MURDER BY DIM YELLOW LIGHT? You are if you're using low intensity projection arcs. Hollywood producers spend millions — exert every effort to put into film all the fine qualities possible. It's up to you to get these qualities out of the pictures. Low intensity lamps cannot satisfactorily project today's dense black and white pictures nor bring out all the beauties of a Technicolor production. Don't murder fine pictures with dim, yellow light. Don't cheat your patrons at the screen. Install low cost ONEKILOWATT PROJECTION ARC LAMPS. Designed especially for moderate sized theatres with screens up to 18 feet in width, they project twice as much light as your old low intensities (with only slightly higher over-all operating cost) — the brilliant snow-white light so necessary to the projection of Technicolor pictures. Your box office demands that you buy them now! GET THIS FREE PROOF! Write for literature or see the Simplex High in your own theatre and see the difference. Phone for a free demonstration. No obligation. Thousands know the name Simplex to be a guarantee that you get the best. Resolve today to have better grosses by having better projection than your competitors.
