& The front of the Columbia theatre,
Pittsburgh, Pa., was almost completely concealed by the vast
spread of stock paper, special banners and cutouts
displayed during the showing of The Kid, Charles Chaplin‘s First
National feature. Theatres catering to transient
patronage have found the production especially suited to flash
exploitation, its stimulative influence upon that phase
of theatre thought figuring importantly in shaping the present
trend of exhibitor advertising.
