Example of a film review of The Mummy that was circulated throughout Philadelphia as it was placed in the city’s premiere newspaper, the Philadelphia Inquirer. It must be noted that this article is contained within the “What’s Playing in the Theaters This Week” section and the article is best described as a hybrid of a film review and an advertisement. With that said, the title of the article, “STANTON,” refers to the movie theater located on 16th and Market in which the film was exhibited. The review mentions that the writer of the film, John L. Balderson, was once a “Philadelphia newspaperman.” By Conor Fitzpatrick
