That is the coolest picture, Vaughan! I have the title card from Les Girls and love it. What a cool way to display them. I've never seen a lobby card displayed. I wonder what they do with them now. I'm sure they are being made in Europe. I bought some German lobby cards from The Iron Giant.

Vaughn, What a treat! That's how I remember the theaters of my youth when I would stand staring at those posters never knowing what lay in store for me years down the road. I would love to own an old theater to display all the wonderful posters and just show old movies all the time. Unfortunately, it's just not cost effective. If I won the lottery and could subsidize it, that would be the life for me. Thanks for the great photo! Sue www.hollywoodposterframes.com ----- Original Message ----- From: Vaughn K.

Hi Folks, As I was going through a bunch of old photographs today, I came across the photo that is linked below. I remember someone on MOPO, some time ago, asked if anyone could show how lobby cards were display in the theatre's of old. Well, this is the Outer Lobby of the Colonial Theatre in Keene, New Hampshire, It had marble floors and brass rails. Still up and operating! My Dad took this picture of one of the people that worked for him. The left upper shows how the three sheet might be displayed (Les Girls). The 2 portable displays could be used for one sheets or lobby cards; usually one sheets except in this case. More importantly, the upper right show a beautiful decor gold frame which held four lobby cards on each side of a one sheet all separated by this gold frame. Jet Pilot is "Coming Soon" The frame has locked doors. Why, I don't know.............No one knew what we know; haha Hope some of you younger enthusiasts find this interesting and helpful.
