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

SH:,WMEN S TRADE REVIEW, December 6, 1947 meHTesrsponNWEmm! ITS AREA is less than one quarter square inch. It is the most powerful "point source" of light in the world. It is the crater in the tip of an experimental positive "National" High Intensity carbon. Into this tiny spot is packed the same amount of light which would be emitted by 137,000 brightly burning candles! This crowding of a terrific amount of light into a small area is a feature of every "National" carbon arc used in movie projection. It is called intrinsic brilliance. This is what makes your pictures so bright and pleasing to look at. Furthermore, the light emitted by "National" High Intensity Projector Carbons is the closest approach to sunlight. It has a continuous spectrum and contains" all the colors of the rainbow. This makes color movies glow with rich natural detail. Your theatre patrons like it— their approval shows up in the box office. When you order projector carbons — orde* "NATIONAL"!
