Notes: Checklist incomplete. The Auditorium was in Manheim, PA.
The Auditorium in Manheim, PA issued movie star cards in at least 1924 and 1925, with some differences in card design and card size. The cards that have been seen from 1924 look like they originated from Kromo Gravure, as the Ruth Roland and Dustin Farnum cards use the same pictures and text placement as the Kromo Gravure cards, but the Auditorium cards are larger in size than the Kromo Gravure cards. The Fairbanks, Roland, and Normand cards measure 3 1/16" x 5 1/16". The Farnum card measures 3 1/2" x 5 5/8". The Thomas Meighan card measures 3 1/2" x 5 7/8".
Date info: The movies and showtimes listed on the backs date these cards to 1924-25.
