FREE: 2 Vintage Hollywood B&W Photos: Universal International Studios & Strand Theater

The listing, 2 Vintage Hollywood B&W Photos: Universal International Studios & Strand Theater has ended.

Offered for bidding are two vintage black & white photographs of early Los Angeles.

1955: One features Universal International Studios in Los Angeles. The background shows the outside of the studies, the photo is taken across the street with a 1950s car sweeping by and a man standing in the foreground.
Approximately 2 ½” square, it is in very good vintage condition with only minor aging. No rips or bent corners or writing on the back. The movies advertised are Foxfire (Jane Russell and Jeff Chandler) and This Island Earth (Jeff Morrow), both released in 1955. In 1996, This Island Earth was edited down and lampooned in the film
Mystery Science Theater 3000: The Movie.

1930s: The other features a woman standing next to a Strand Theater poster advertisement from the mid-1930s
(clothing style/hair/shoes and the movie release date). Go Into Your Dance with Al Jolson and Ruby Keeler (his then-wife) was showing with a release date of April, 1935). There were up to six Strand Theaters in early LA, so it’s difficult to say where this was shot. As I look at vintage snapshots of Ruby Keeler, I wonder if the woman in this photo is her. She looks very similar! Very good condition with no rips, tears, writing on the back.

Two fun photos recently found in my family’s photo collection. The both come to you scent-free from a non-smoking pet-free home!
