In the 1930's, during the Great Depression, the motion picture industry provided an escape for people and their problems. People regularly invested a few of their last cents to see movies that transported them to worlds of adventure and glamour and provided them with hope. The studios were not thriving and had to go into debt in order to finance most pictures. Survival tactics included reducing admissions and giving away prizes to keep people in attendance.
