The first is for the film "Marihuana" released by Roadshow Attractions Corp. The second (2:46) is for "Maniac" aka "Sex Maniac". The coming attractions end and at 7:15 is another snipe for the movie theater snack bar featuring bon bon ice cream, candy and popcorn. There's a three minute intermission so you can stock up! "Maniac" is a 1934 black-and-white film, directed by Dwain Esper and written by his wife Hildagarde Stadie. It is a loose adaptation of the Edgar Allan Poe story "The Black Cat". The film was advertised with the tagline "He menaced women with his weird desires!" Released in 1936, "Marihuana" was also directed by Esper and written by Stadie, who appears as an extra in the film. The trailer for "Marihuana" was infamous at the time of its release, as it showed an assault scene which was not featured in the actual movie.
