An advertisement for Stanley Theatre’s (located at 19th and Market) showing of Frankenstein that was circulated throughout Philadelphia as it was placed in one of the city’s newspapers, the Philadelphia Evening Bulletin. It appears that the Stanley Theatre along with the Stanton Theatre were the major venues for horror films in Philadelphia during this time. Also, it is very important to point out that the advertisement includes a warning that advises parents not to send their children to the film, unless accompanied by an adult. This “warning” may be a clever publicity stunt or a genuine advisory note. The ad, released on the film’s opening day, highlights the midnight showing of the film. By Conor Fitzpatrick
