Advertisements for amusements including theater, motion pictures, vaudeville, and photoplay. Day before opening of Crosskey. 

Motion picture from WW I being shown at Chestnut St. Theater. The film was taken by The Chicago Tribune and was described as “the most marvelous historical record ever made.” Film from the war was seen as providing a historical, indexical document. 

Also the ads demonstrate the integration of movies into vaudeville shows, such as in the Palace Theater ad. The Palace advertised showings of Paramount Pictures.  By Jake M. Chanin
