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

ALTON COOK, N.Y. World -Telegram: "An enduringly great picture . . . 'None But The Lonely Heart' is a title that will keep reappearing on movie marquees for years and years." BOSLEY CROWTHER, N.Y. Times: "A film of haunting moods and desperate yearnings . . . Such a sensitive and warmly revealing and poetically lovely film that one may feel wonder and amazement at seeing it on the screen . . . Will be remembered — and revived — long after many current favorites are forgotten." WANDA HALE, N.Y. Daily News: "A satisfying adaptation of Richard Llewellyn's fine novel. The acting by the star, Gary Grant, and his distinguished support, Ethel Barrymore and Barry Fitzgerald, goes deep into the heart." ARCHER WINSTEN, N.Y. Post: "It provides that rarest of novel experiences, characters and events which are not predictable . . . Highly recommended to all people who want to see fresh new movies." HOWARD BARNES, N.Y. Herald -Tribune: "Gary Grant is wonderful. Ethel Barrymore is magnificent, and Barry Fitzgerald, George Goulouris and all the others are superb," ROSE PELSWICK, N.Y. Journal-American: "Gary Grant and Ethel Barrymore give brilliant performances." WALTER WINCHELL: "A dramatic symphony in tune with your emotions." BONOS BOY BOMBS! SOCK EM WITH THE 6»h!
