What was the price of a theater ticket in 1912?
The price of a theater ticket in 1912 varied based on the location and type of theater, but generally fell between 10 and 50 cents. At the more luxurious movie palaces in large cities, tickets could cost as much as a dollar or even more
These prices were relatively expensive at the time, as the average weekly wage for an industrial worker in 1912 was around $10. In today’s dollars, a 10-cent ticket in 1912 would be equivalent to about $3, and a 50-cent ticket would be equivalent to about $15.
