Great flash for those fronts! There was real competition for spectator's dollars and great promo for other markets to see the movie so glamourously featured.

Architect S. Charles Lee, who designed many grand theaters across the U.S. later said, "I wanted to build a place, where for .50 cents, a working man could be in a Palace."

Another factor was the ONLY source of revenue for movies were ticket sales into the theaters, so they beat the drums loudly to get every dollar they could via ticket sales....NO TV, cable, satelite, streamng, home video revenue sources then, had get it all at the box office.
