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

I N A 45,000-ton battleship of the Iowa Class, there are 3,058,000 pounds of copper . . . 1,529 tons of it! That's just one reason why copper is scarce. Almost countless more war-imposed reasons exist why every last possible ounce of copper should be saved. National Carbon Company's experience and research enabled us at the very beginning of the war to redesign "National" projector carbons using less copper while providing virtually the same screen brilliance as before. Furthermore, exhibitors, projectionists and lamp manufacturers have contributed much to the copper-saving program. Now it is more important than ever for projectionists to collect the copper drippings from lamps, as well as the copper easily stripped from carbon stubs, and turn it all in to local salvage committees for re-use. It's an easy thing to do . . . and a tremendously important one these days! The word "National" is a registered trade-mark of National Carbon Company, Inc. NATIONAL CARBON COMPANY, INC.
