RARE BOOK: American Film Exhibition by Gary Edgreton: Why so hard to find???
My student niece was able to borrow this book from her university library for me, and it looks quite interesting. But somebody please tell me why this out of print book about exhibition published in 1983 is so incredibly hard to find. In fact, bookfinder.com even lists it as “Out of Print- Hard to Find”.
FYI:The circulating copy in the NYC Performing Arts library was absconded. No other public libraries have it. Grab it with both hands should it come available on Ebay, Amazon, etc.
Am quite intrigued how this book ended up being so obscure.

HONDO in 3-D - Research materials needed
We are documenting the 3-D distribution of HONDO, starring John Wayne and released by Warner Bros. It premiered in Houston on 11/24/53 and El Paso on 11/25/53. It then had pre-release Thanksgiving week bookings in nearly 30 major cities in 3-D, mostly on the East Coast.
The film went into wide release in late December. Throughout January and February of 1954, HONDO played extensively throughout the country in 3-D. We have already secured copies of many ads, but we are looking for photographs of marquees or theater displays.
If anybody has material they would be willing to share, please let me know. Thank you very much!

Volunteer ushers needed at Loew’s Jersey
JERSEY CITY, NJ — The fall brings a new season to the Loew’s Jersey — and that means there are more chances coming for you to find out what it’s like to “work a show” by joining our team of volunteer ushers.
We need ushers to help out this Saturday, September 29th for a Filipino music concert.
It’s vital to the Loew’s to have a cadre of volunteers to take tickets, help guide patrons to their seats, and assist behind the concession counter. And, as people who’ve worked with us before can attest, for volunteers, its fun and exciting to be a vital part of “showtime,” and it’s rewarding to know that they are making another successful show at the landmark Loew’s possible.
