EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the grandeur of the historic Mount Vernon Theatre in Washington, D. C. The image, taken on November 30th, 1969 by an American photographer from the 20th century, showcases the architectural beauty of this early cinema house. Built in 1910 as a Nickelodeon theatre, this iconic landmark stands tall on Ninth Street Northwest. Its neoclassical design is evident with its arched entrance and elegant thermal windows. The intricate details of the facade are highlighted in this photograph, showcasing the craftsmanship of that era. The Mount Vernon Theatre holds a significant place in American entertainment history as it was one of the earliest venues for moving pictures or silent films. It served as a hub for movie enthusiasts who flocked to experience this new form of visual storytelling. Although time has taken its toll on this once vibrant establishment, with signs of dilapidation visible in the photo, its historical charm remains intact. This image serves as a reminder of America's rich cinematic heritage and pays homage to an era when movies were still young and captivating audiences across the nation. Preserved within a private collection and now out of copyright restrictions, this photograph allows us to appreciate both the artistry behind early film-making and our cultural connection to these timeless motion pictures.
