New Antedating of "Movie"

[Shapiro, Fred]

I apologize to those offended by antedatings, but I have pushed back the first citation for the word _movie_ slightly further:


movie (OED3 1911)

1909 _Springfield Sunday Republican_ 1 Aug. 19 (America's Historical Newspapers)  The average child only goes to the "Movies" twice a month.
