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

SHOWMEN'S TRADE REVIEW. January 4. 1947 E-25 EQUIPMENT SHOWCASE MOULDINGS. Extruded aluminum mouldings in six new patterns have been brought out by Marsh Wall Products, Inc., to harmonize with Marsh plastic-finish wall and ceiling paneling and for general use. They are available for immediate delivery. (#16). NON-SYNCH turntable featuring automatic record changer, a Webster model, merchandised to theatres by National Theatre Supply. The device handles either 10 or 12 inch records, as desired, and up to 12 of them at one time. The change from one record to another occupies only four seconds. The turntable is rim-driven for smooth response and absence of wows and flutter, by means of a l/35th horsepower synchronous motor. The pickup is of the crystal type, connecting through co-axial cable directly to the projection room amplifiers. The case is all steel, provided with brackets for wall mounting. It hinges upward and forward for maximum convenience in servicing. The controls seen on the face of the panel are a volume control, and on-off switch. The protuberance just right of the pickup, which looks deceptively like a vacuum tube in this picture, is in fact only a rest, on which the pickup is placed when the machine is not in use.
