Hello again my friends. This blog has gone over the advertising of movies many times. However most of these posts did not go any earlier than the 1920's. Films existed for a few decades before that however. For instance how was a motion picture show advertised in 1909. Luckily for us, this part of early cinema has been covered. I don't mean by modern day film historians mind you but rather by people back then. This 1909 article from the early film magazine, The Nickelodeon gives advice on how theatre owners should advertise their movie picture shows 110 years ago. Remember if the print is too small you can always zoom in.
Hope you enjoyed and found this very informative.
