The B&W epic was being presented as a reserved-seat roadshow, with two performances daily during the week and three on Saturday and Sunday. Top price of $2.20 seemed excessive for the Depression era, and would be equivalent to about $41 in 2019.
I guess that many moviegoers today, especially in major cities, pay $40 or even more for a newly released film when booking fees and premiums for 3-D or other processes are figured in. I also wonder where people get their info from about playdates, now that cinema advertising in newspapers is fast becoming extinct.
