EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of New Orleans in the 1930s. The image showcases the entrance to the Liberty Theatre on St. Charles Street, a bustling hub of entertainment in this vibrant city. Walker Evans skillfully captured this moment, immortalizing it for generations to come. The theater's exterior is adorned with eye-catching advertisements and movie posters, enticing passersby to step into a world of cinematic wonder. A group of men can be seen standing near the entrance, perhaps discussing which film they will enjoy that evening. A woman stands at the ticket booth with a smile on her face, ready to assist eager moviegoers. The street scene surrounding the theater is equally intriguing. A fire hydrant stands tall against the backdrop of salt-stained sidewalks, hinting at New Orleans' coastal location. In true New Orleans fashion, an actor and actress are depicted in one poster outside the theater, adding an air of glamour and excitement. This photograph not only captures a specific moment in time but also serves as a reminder of America's early 20th-century culture and its love affair with cinema. It is through images like these that we gain insight into our past and appreciate how far we have come as a society.
