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

November 25, 1^44 SHOWMEN'S TRADE REVIEW 25 Join the Navy cameramen and see the war Death by night. Inferno-like glare illumines a battle in the central Solomons. Official U. S. Navy Photosr^r'^ Seasoned gunners hold their ears as a U. S. battleship pours shells at point-blank range. Official U. S. Navy Photograph. THE Navy's in at the beginning of every big show. And right up front where nothing can get between them and their pictures, you'll find the Navy's Combat Photography Units. In the Navy, as in all the armed forces, combat photography owes much to "the movies." The movies have sent a lot of their young cameramen to war. Many of those too old to go have served as instructors, turned "green" kids into capable cameramen in an amazingly short time. And of course movie men with movie methods edit, cut, and mold separate "shots" into finished productions that help plan and fight the war . . . that provide the very best kind of training films . . . and that bring the war to us at home. The Navy combat cameramen's pictures are the basis for an illustrated history of war at sea such as the world has never seen. Eastman Kodak Company Rochester, N. Y. J. E.
