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

We've used the strike as a reason so much now that such an explanation ceases to have much of an effect. But honestly, the strike is the contributing factor — at least the main contributing factor — and as long as it continues, -chances are that last year's starting records will continue ahead of those of this year. The seven pictures which began rolling last week are as follows: COLUMBIA Girl of the Limberlost — Principals : Uorinda Clifton. Vanesse Brown, Ruth Nelson, Warren Mills. Director, Mel Ferrer. Paper Doll Murders — Principals : Warner Baxter, Dusty Anderson, John Litel. Director, William Castle. MONOGRAM Allotment Wives — Principals: Kay Francis, Paul Kelly, Otto Kruger.
