EDITORS COMMENTS
Step right up and prepare to be transported back in time with this vintage Coney Island cinema projection slide from 1943. The image showcases an advertisement for an upcoming attraction at the Coney Island Theatre, located on the iconic boardwalk. The theatre, with its distinctive marquee and art deco design, looms large in the background, while the foreground is dominated by a large poster advertising a triple feature of movies. The main attraction is a triple bill of "Bathing Beauty" starring the radiant Betty Grable, "This Is the Army" with the dashing George Montgomery, and "The Mask of Dimitrios" featuring the enigmatic Cesar Romero. The slide also includes a notice for Phil Silvers, who was likely set to make an appearance or perform a live act in conjunction with the films. The use of a lantern slide projector would have allowed the theatre to display this advertisement in vivid detail, enticing passersby to purchase tickets and step inside for an evening of entertainment. The slide's warm colors and crisp lines transport us back to a time when movie-going was a communal experience, a time when the magic of the movies was amplified by the anticipation of seeing the latest films on the big screen. This fascinating glimpse into the past is part of The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online. It offers a unique window into the history of cinema and the allure of Coney Island, a place where dreams and memories come to life.
