The Stanley Theatre was located near 16th and Market Streets, Philadelphia, PA. The program advertises the theatre as "Absolutely Fireproof" and "Constructed of Steel and Concrete" with twenty exits. The program is printed on a single sheet of paper measuring about 9" x 12 5/8", folded in half to make four pages, each measuring about 9" x 6 1/4". Condition is nice as shown in photos.

It is a terrific piece of motion picture history as well as Philadelphia history. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Our father was a bibliophile who collected rare books, letters, and ephemera for more than 60 years.
