EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to the early 1900s, capturing the grandeur of a bygone era. Standing tall before our eyes is a magnificent theater, its elaborate facade adorned with exquisite Moorish arches and balconies. The sheer size of this architectural marvel is awe-inspiring, dominating the bustling streets of Manhattan. Atop the building, a large sign proudly announces the B. S. Moss Regent Theatre as a hub for both vaudeville performances and feature films. It serves as a beacon for entertainment seekers in search of laughter or cinematic adventures. Just above the entrance hangs another sign that catches our attention – it advertises Olga Petrova starring in "The Heart of a Painted Woman" promising an emotional journey within those walls. As we delve deeper into this snapshot from history, we are reminded of how integral motion pictures were becoming in society's fabric during this time. The film industry was blossoming, offering an escape from reality and transporting audiences to new worlds. Intriguingly, amidst all this glamour and excitement captured on film lies evidence of daily life unfolding around it - pedestrians strolling by shops and stores along One Hundred Sixteenth Street in Harlem. This juxtaposition reminds us that while art may be timeless, it exists within the context of everyday existence. Preserved through gelatin silver print photography by Byron Company between 1890-1942, this image now resides at the Museum of City New York's eMuseum collection—a
