L
et’s go back a few years. It is 1930
in Detroit and you feel like having
a bit of entertainment. What will
you do?
There is no Internet or television, and
certainly no cell phones or home the-
aters. You might listen to a bit of radio, if
there is any regular programming at the
time you would like to listen.
If you decide to get out of the house,
there is no Disneyland or Cedar Point;
there are, perhaps, some sporting events.
Nevertheless, a night on the town
can be exciting. Look no further than
the “Theatres” page in the April 11,
1930, issue of the Jewish Chronicle in the
William Davidson Digital Archives.
First, you could go to see a “talk-
ing picture.” The latest invention from
Hollywood — movies that had sound and
you could actually hear the actors speak!
OMG! Talking pictures were only three
years old in 1930.
You might choose the talking comedy,
The Kibitzer. Or maybe you prefer live
theater and decide to go to Littman’s
Peoples Theater to see The Jewish
General. Or, for real excitement, you
could go to the Detroit Opera House to
see the Hubert Winstead-presented film

with sound from his Big Jungle Game
Hunt, Wild Women Gorillas. It was aptly
billed, I think, as “unbelievable.” Yes,
there was no shortage of entertainment
in 1930.
