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

A cleansing, disinfecting and deodorising compound, Fort-A-Cide has no odor of its own. Its use does not call patrons' attention to the fact that theatres need disinfection. It is compounded of si.r ingredients, some of zvhich are I'enetrants piercing through dirt and soil to permit the accompanying sanitizing ingredients to do their work with ma.vimum efficiency. Laboratory reports from impartial civic authorities show Fort-A-Cide to be vastly more efficient as germ-killer than carbolic acid — under some circumstances, 500 times as efficient.

Adler Silhouette Letter Company's changeable letters and glass-in-frame units are used in the marquee of the newly-remodeled RKO Grand Theatre, Chicago, and in the "next attraction" sign over the lobby doors.
