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

His current release is "None But the Lonely Heart." His forthcoming releases: "Incendiary Blonde," "Two Years Before the Mast," "Duffy's Tavern." Charles Cohurn Has brought the skill and resourcefulness of years of experience on the stage to his portrayals for pictures, in which he has essayed a wide range of character types. His 1943-44 pictures included "Knickerbocker Holiday," "Wilson" and "Impatient Years." Forthcoming release: "A Royal Scandal." Walter Brennan An actor who has the faculty of putting punch as well as heart into portrayals of older codgers, and also the faculty of more than holding his own in scenes with some of the screen's most able stars. He was outstanding in "Home in Indiana," an attraction of 1943-44. Current releases: "Princess and the Pirate," "To Have and Have Not." 70 LEADERS of the MOTION PICTURE INDUSTRY
