An advertisement for Stanley Theatre’s (located at 19th and Market) showing of Dracula that was circulated throughout Philadelphia as it was placed in the city’s premiere newspaper, the Philadelphia Inquirer. 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 of worth to note that the ad highlights that the film was “held over,” meaning that the film continued to be shown in the theaters in lieu of a new film. By Conor Fitzpatrick
