EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the bustling streets of Rio de Janeiro in 1926. Cinelandia square, the heart of entertainment and culture at that time, is beautifully captured in this image by Frederic Lewis. The focal point of the picture is the magnificent Teatro Municipal on the right side, an architectural masterpiece that still stands today as a symbol of grandeur. As we explore further into the scene, our eyes are drawn to the vibrant cinemas on the left side of Cinelandia square. Two films are being advertised: Cecil B. DeMille's epic production "The Ten Commandments" and Edward Laemmle's intriguing film "The Whole Towns Talking". These cinematic marvels were undoubtedly attracting crowds eager for a thrilling escape from reality. Despite its age, this photograph exudes energy and life with incidental people scattered throughout the street. It captures a moment frozen in time when cinema was rapidly gaining popularity as a form of entertainment worldwide. Frederic Lewis skillfully captures both nostalgia and curiosity through his lens, inviting us to step into this historical setting where artistry flourished against a backdrop of urban charm. This print serves as a reminder of how far we have come while honoring an era when movies played an integral role in shaping society's imagination.
