Liberty Theatres. Huge, temporary wooden auditoriums, they were erected during World War I largely to entertain troops at military camps. Touring companies of Broadway shows or hastily assembled vaudeville bills would perform in them for soldiers who had paid to see the entertainments with coupons from Smileage Books, which sold for nominal amounts and which were usually bought by the public and then donated to the troops.
