Example of a film review of Murders in the Rue Morgue that was circulated throughout Philadelphia as it was placed in the one of the city’s newspapers, the Philadelphia Public Ledger. It must be noted that this article is contained within the “What the Theatres Headline” 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, “Mad Doctor and Ape – Stanton,” refers to the movie theater located on 16th and Market in which the film was exhibited. By Conor Fitzpatrick

An advertisement for Stanton Theatre’s (located at 16th and Market) showing of Murders in the Rue Morgue that was circulated throughout Philadelphia as it was placed in the one of the city’s newspapers, the Philadelphia Evening Bulletin.  It appears that the Stanton Theatre along with the Stanley Theatre were the major venues for horror films in Philadelphia during this time.  By Conor Fitzpatrick
