Hi Rudy, and all,
If people are interested in the book, by going to www.bookfinder.com and
putting in the details, it throws up several copies for sale, and none very
expensive.
It's a charming book created by NATO (the other NATO!) and well woerth
acquiring if interested in theatres, theatre history and the way theatres
sold the movies over the years, both hardtops and drive-ins.
Phil

>phil I remeber that book and I even called Nato and asked about it..
sadley that year i decided to make a lifestyle change and go into
chap 13 reorganization... so it was not in the eBudget toget any.. I
never even saw one..
But I did buy a Book that was made in 1986 by David Qbowers called
Nickelodeons and thier music about the eatlist theatre advertising..
before One sheets
they literally used bed sheets and borrowed chairs from the
morturary..
the theaotrium was Toledo 1st about 1910 before taht vaudville house
liek Burts theatre did Picture plays during the shows.. I have a book
that chronicles Toledos Movies written in 1919 with grosses and
numbers size and all written by a reverend as a expose on Movies in a
typicle city...
I still have my theatre catologs from seting makers and all the
hardware starting in 1900s to 50s... I love the picture palaces.. we
had several and down in columbuse they have the OHIO and in detroit
the FOX greatold theatres
with Decor that gives movie the ambiance we remeber... also they have
i bet the tube soudn gear and voice of the theater cabinater that
made the sound earthshaking...cantbeat JBL and electro Voice.... and
Carbon ARC light!!!
Rudys photos are killer,, i had to stop looking as i love that stuff,,
all good and hoep someone gets it in a archive so we can look later...
it was truly a art form of show business talents.. and sign artist,
O know of a few guys that did it but they retired..
best To Rudy and heritage this is a Good historic sale of priceless
history!!!

Yes, they are great shots, and it's difficult for fans of theatres
and
ballyhoo not to get a buzz from them.
For those really interested in the subject, it is absolutely worth
seeking
out a copy of AMERICA GOES TO THE MOVIES - 100 YEARS OF MOTION
PICTURE
EXHIBITION by Barbara Stones and published by the National
Association of
Theatre Owners in 1993. For serious book hunters, the ISBN is
0-9638653-0-7.

wow that sounds like some cool pics Rudy ... would have made a
great
book!!!,, the ballyhoo and exploitation
always was interesting to me.. in Toledo Harry Strong president
and
founder of Strong motion picture electric lamphouse projection
company wrote several books on the subject. Also the old
shomantrade
review, Boxoffice and quigleys all had great trade magazines
like international projectionist and more.. these also featured
ideas
for
shows and theatre fronts.. I was lucky to meet Jack baker who from
Toledo was
a thetare man and also known as DR>SILKINI in the 30s and 40 50s
60s
who had a traveling spook show.. he was legendary. My 1st sign for
my
shop was hand painted by a veteran showcard painter named Abe
Stram
who did all the Burlesque
signs for Rose Larose and the Town hall Burlesque.(fetured in
Leslie
Zemeckis film Behind the Burly Q) now on Video and showtime( PLUG)
.. he used a russian squirrel hair brush all by hand in one shot
poster paint that jumped from the showcards..
I was able to get him to do several signs in the vinatge feel for
me
,,
sign art is a lost art now that they use photoshop and vinyl
lettering..
the standees where made by hand and some would have movable
motorized
things
and would be made in the local area by Union sign men.
wow they used lots of bright color and glitter also,, it was a
spectacle
and made movies over the top fun and excitement..
I would love to make new items on that level .. the banners and
standard standees are trite,, I actually had a 3 d idea for
jurrassic
park where we would make dinos in 3d foam cast.. jumping out of
the
standee however Universal already had a 3d paper one that was
similar
but not as I would have made it,,
can YOu tell im into the promotional ad stuff..:)
now days its alll done on trailers and video on computers as I
suspected..
But thats why the old school would work even better now is its
unusaual..
would be costly.. but would build more excitement then redundant
trailers that
all look the same.
sorry too much coffee:).

Heritage's March 27 to April 3 weekly internet auction is open

showing dressed for first run movie theater fronts from Boston
and
New York. Titles: 42nd Street, Dawn Patrol, Kongo +Tarzan The
Fearless, Sign of the Cross, The
Spoilers and Movie Crazy. Back in the day, all the major studios

create
elaborate displays to launch a new release in large U.S. cities.
Over
the next few weeks, Heritage will be offering more images of
theater
fronts plus lobby art. Using the auction site's pan and scan
feature,
one can zoom in on posters displayed. Thanks for looking, rudy
