<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Pat P, post: 62420, member: 201&quot;]I think you&#039;re right, Fig.</p><p><br /></p><p>I was able to look at long lists of films produced each year, and went through the years that seemed most appropriate, but still didn&#039;t find a movie that seemed to fit the ends of the words on the poster.</p><p><br /></p><p>My DH, who&#039;s done a lot of specialty movie projection, says most movies in those days were only about 30 minutes long so it was easy for them to produce a large number of films. For instance, the database I looked at listed about 1,500 movies produced in 1915, and they doesn&#039;t necessarily include all the movies made that year.</p><p><br /></p><p>According to my DH, the &quot;3 reels&quot; mentioned below the ticket taker&#039;s window is an indication of the length of the movie showing. A reel was about 10 minutes of film, so a 3-reel film was about 30 minutes long.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
