Many years ago we acquired a very large (archive) collection of "Movie newspaper advertisements from the early 1900's" and have been busy putting together a presentation of the many ingredients that are baked into them. What we have discovered for ourselves is an enthusiasm for learning about all of the subjects in the ads such as the obvious actors and movie titles but also in the theatres, the directors, the band directors, etc. We are curious to how you might find the experience of discovering for yourself these stories with your own investigations. So we are presenting you with one of the newspaper ads with a list of items from it as a guide to what you can look for that is pertinent to the ad. Simply click on any of the listed items on the right of the ad and you'll be taken to a link that where you can learn more about that subject. You don't have to do them all if you don't want to. Just maybe a few...we are just curious to whether others may find this as interesting as we do. So when you have some time please take the "test" and let us know about your experience.
