EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of New York City in the early 20th century. The Ideal Theatre, located at 693 Eighth Avenue, stands proudly amidst the bustling city streets. Taken around 1916-17 by William Davis Hassler, this image showcases the architectural beauty of the theatre's exterior. The night view adds a touch of mystery and allure to the scene as bright lights illuminate the marquee. Two prominent films are advertised on the marquees - "The Rise of Susan" and "The Black Butterfly". These movies were released in December 1916, making this photograph a snapshot in time when these cinematic gems captivated audiences. As one gazes at this historic image, it is impossible not to be transported back to an era where billboards adorned every corner and flashing lights created an enchanting atmosphere. The Ideal Theatre was undoubtedly a popular destination for moviegoers seeking entertainment and escape from their daily lives. This photograph serves as a reminder of how architecture, advertising, and cinema converged to create an unforgettable experience for those who visited or passed by this iconic location. It encapsulates both the charm of old New York City and its vibrant cultural scene during that period. Preserved by Bridgeman Images from Fine Art Finder, this print allows us to appreciate not only Hassler's artistic vision but also offers us a glimpse into a bygone era that continues to fascinate us today.
