This ad is from the April 6th newspaper. The theater opens April 7th, the next day. No address given, not even a general location! The next day Harkins came out with a large ad with a general location and bragging about features like "The biggest screen in Colorado, 125,000 watts of sound per auditorium, shitloads of speakers, the best acoustics, etc..." They obviously have the very best in motion picture projectors, as seen in the photograph.  |  IP: Logged Michael Schaffer "Where is the Boardwalk Hotel?"

They stand on one leg to conserve body heat since the legs are naked. The Zoo. Why? I mean, zoos are nice, they have animals, some of them are even quite funny (but some of them also smell really bad), but there are many zoos in many places, and there are many more interesting and significant things to see and do in Berlin. I hope at least you got completely hammered. As you may have noticed, Berlin has no closing hour. BTW, it's *Schaffer*.  |  IP: Logged Brian Michael Weidemann Expert cat molester Posts: 944 From: Costa Mesa, CA United States Registered: Feb 2004 posted 04-11-2006 04:07 AM                        The "font murder" (as Mr. Henderson calls it) of the Copperplate in the Harkins ad is giving me a headache. No wonder they didn't give an address on that one ... Bobby would have called the authorities on them!  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 04-11-2006 04:41 AM                        I demand somebody comment on the awesome projector or whatever it is in the ad!  |  IP: Logged Brian Michael Weidemann Expert cat molester Posts: 944 From: Costa Mesa, CA United States Registered: Feb 2004 posted 04-11-2006 05:16 AM                        Oh, but Joe, you had clearly done that already by the end of your post. You wouldn't want us copying you, would you? But if you insist ... it's clear that that's just the AV guy setting up an old cartoon reel for the kiddies at the Child Care Facilities they seem to be so proud of. Either that, or a propaganda news reel denouncing "modern communism". But one thing's for sure, those kids are going to grow up to appreciate the perfect fusion of style, showmanship, and technology; if Harkins has anything to say about it!  |  IP: Logged Paul Konen Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 981 From: Frisco, TX.

Note the magazine is using cores, and likely has a film capacity of about 1000-foot rolls. Not a projector.  |  IP: Logged Paul Mayer Oh get out of it Melvin, before it pulls you under!

Tantalisingly, it doesn't tell you how much a one-way trip from New York to Frankfurt on the Hindenburg actually cost. If any tickets survive from the westbound departure on 3 May 1937, I guess they'll probably be worth significantly more than their face value by now.  |  IP: Logged Michael Schaffer "Where is the Boardwalk Hotel?" Posts: 4143 From: Boston, MA Registered: Apr 2002 posted 04-11-2006 06:44 PM                        The fare on the Hindenburg (IIRC, one way) was about 200 Reichsmark which is very roughly $2200 today.  |  IP: Logged Leo Enticknap Film God Posts: 7474 From: Loma Linda, CA Registered: Jul 2000 posted 04-12-2006 04:57 AM                        Interesting - I was expecting it to be at least five figures in today's money. Comparing like for like (i.e. a one-way trip on the Hindenburg with first class jet travel today), it would seem that the cost of intercontinental air travel has actually gone up in the last 70 years - I looked on Expedia just now, and the going rate from JFK to Frankfurt-Main on Lufthansa is around three grand (British pounds). Given that air travel was an experimental technology in 1936 and that, presumably, the ticket price reflected a lot of research & development costs, that's not what I would have expected at all. Of course it's possible to get across the pond for a lot less than that; but so it was also in 1936 (i.e. by sea, in steerage). Either the Zeppelin Company heavily subsidised its fares (which it might have done as a propaganda exercise, I suppose), or the principle of Moore's Law simply doesn't apply to the cost of aviation. Interesting also is the serial number on that ticket, if it's an accurate reflection of the number of passenger journeys to date. 4,297 isn't a lot for an airline which had been operating passenger flights for almost a decade (if I remember correctly, the Graf Zeppelin made its first revenue earning flight in 1927). I guess that today's major airlines probably take that many people across the Atlantic in a day (i.e. four or five jumbo jets in each direction).  |  IP: Logged
