125 years ago today, Vitascope’s first theatrical exhibit took place in New York City. In April 1902, Tally’s Electric Theatre opened in Los Angeles, California. Home of Hollywood, Los Angeles is no stranger to movie-making or theatres. The image we’re sharing with you today of a movie theatre at the Connell Naval Club on the Submarine Base, Los Angeles, while taken in 1922, is eerily similar to today’s images of empty theaters. Hang in there, LA. We can’t wait to see you at the movies!
Item: [Movie theatre at the Connell Naval Club on the Submarine Base, Los Angeles. File Unit: 61 Photographs [submarine base]. Series: Central Subject Files, 1924 - 1958. Record Group 181: Records of Naval Districts and Shore Establishments, 1784 - 2000. (National Archives Identifier 295430).
The first theatrical exhibition of the Vitascope was on April 23, 1896, at Koster and Bial’s Music Hall in New York City. It was developed by Thomas Armat and C. Francis Jenkins and marketed by Thomas Edison. #OnThisDay
Vitascope è stato uno dei primi proiettori cinematografici dimostrato per la prima volta nel 1895 da Charles Francis Jenkins e Thomas Armat. Avevano apportato modifiche al Phantoscope brevettato da Jenkins, che proiettava immagini tramite pellicola e luce elettrica su una parete o uno schermo.
