An advertisement for Stanley Theatre’s (located at 19^th and Market) showing of Island of Lost Souls that was circulated throughout Philadelphia as it was placed in the city’s premiere newspaper, the Philadelphia Inquirer.

Example of a film review of Island of Lost Souls 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, “STANLEY,” refers to the movie theater located on 19th and Market in which the movie was exhibited. By Conor Fitzpatrick
