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

A Good Nickel Cigar O nee upon a time a certain salty gentleman from Indiana, Thomas Riley Marshall, vice president, looking upon the hectic American scene summed up his findings: "What this country needs is a good five cent cigar, e crack made him famous, Without carping or controversy, Mr. Marshall threw a dash of cooling sanity into the thought of a day burdened with fevered strivings and perplexities. Everybody knew what he meant—that the business of living was being complexed by both tangibles and intangibles, things and thoughts and vanities which cost more, sold for more, than they were worth. O ix years ago Republic Pictures Corporation was born of the opinion that the motion picture theatre, serving the people, could do with a dependable line of productions-entertainment worth what it cost, worth what it sold for, delivered on schedule Opportunity seemed to beckon. e six years since have been a period of continuously developing success. Republic has risen and grown because it has contributed to the success of the theatre with box office profits and the satisfaction of the customers. Republic's 1941-42 program is a bigger broader product of that experience, that basic policy. REPUBLIC PICTURES CORPORATION BUY U. S. DEFENSE BONDS
