Movie posters and movie theaters.

The popularity of “moving pictures” grew in the 1920s. Movie "palaces" sprang up in all major cities. For a quarter or 25 cents, Americans escaped their problems and lose themselves in another era or world. People of all ages attended the movies with far more regularity than today, often going more than once per week. By the end of the decade, weekly movie attendance swelled to 90 million people. The silent movies gave rise to the first generation of movie stars. At the end of the decade, the dominance of silent movies began to wane with the advance of sound technology.

Possible key metal monopoly committee's study. Washington, D.C., May 8. The temporary National Economic Committee turned its investigation today upon the little known beryllium industry. Senator Joseph O'Mahoney, Co-chairman of the Committee, is shown here with Andrew Gahagan, President of the Beryllium Corp., of Temple, Pennsylvania, examining the crude ore and a sample hammer which is made from an alloy with beryllium. Gahagan described beryllium as an element, fourth in atomic weight from hydrogen, which can be combined with copper or nickel and certain other metals, to produce alloys of extraordinary hardness, lightness, and strength. The committee suspects that the metal may become a key material in industrial and war supply problems
