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

Thirty-seven pictures have registered with sufficient force at the box-office during the period covered by the Leaders Poll to win exhibitor recommendation as candidates for the topquality brackets. The pictures in the "runner-up" classification will be found listed, in the order of the votes they scored, below. In view of the fact that the past season brought forth fewer releases than in former years, the larger number of pictures which this year qualified as candidates for Leaders position emphasizes the higher overall quality of productions which issued from the studios during the past season. It will be noted that a wide range of story types are represented. THE FOREST RANGERS Paramount Associate Producer, Robert Sisk Directed by George Marshcdl Associate Director.
