Coming Attractions (1932)

Digging around at the old antique mall again recently, and I found a couple of neat "coming attractions" film schedule booklets, featuring pre-code Hollywood movies released in 1932 at the Monroe and Woods theaters in Chicago, IL. Lots of great classics, big stars, and very nice poster ad lay-outs highlighted with photos and illustrations.

    Gosh, I think I'd have to pretty much go to the movies every single day. Just like now.

    Haha, yeah... I was curious about The Devil is Driving, a 1932 pre-Code film starring Edmund Lowe and Dickie Moore. Internet says: The film's title was typical of the sensationalistic titles of many pre-Code films and runs a mere 63 minutes, and like many Pre-Code movies deals openly with issues like sex and violence. Lowe plays a chronic gambler who drifts into a life of crime. Gonna check it out today on youtube:

    Just finished "The Devil Is Driving". Even with some too dark scenes, a great film. Boy they were driving like the devil in a lot of the film. Another neato! and a thank you Mr.K.

    My pleasure, glad to see these old booklets sparking interest in some of these forgotten celluloid gems :) Anyone from Chicago out there familiar with these theaters?
