Promo from 1940 reminded people that they could enjoy air conditioning at this theatre

1940s MOVIE THEATRE AIR CONDITIONING is a movie theatre snipe from 1940 which reminded the audience that they were lucky to be able to cool off in the theatre's air conditioning all summer long. The snip features a cartoon image of a theatre full of smiling people bundled up, with icicles hanging on the ceiling above them. I think this theatre may have gone a bit overboard, trying to keep everyone comfortable during the summer. Hopefully, nobody got hypothermia.
