Incorporated Not-For-Profit in 1969 152 N. York St., 2nd Floor, Elmhurst, IL 60126 historictheatres.org Finding Aid for the THEATRE HISTORICAL SOCIETY POSTCARD COLLECTION Acc No.: various Future Additions Expected: Yes Finding Aid creation: November 3, 2015 Size: 7 boxes, approximately 4.75 linear feet Abstract The Theatre Historical Society Postcard Collection consists of approximately 4.75 linear feet of postcards. The collection consists of 3,370 postcards documenting theatres in the United States as well as some international theatres and a number of street scenes, amusement parks, ballrooms and other buildings. Background Information The Theatre Historical Society of America was founded in 1969 to promote the legacy of America’s historic theatres and ensure the documentation of the architectural, cultural and social history of those theatres. Materials were collected by members and kept in separate locations. Over time the collections were brought to one location and combined. From these initial collections the materials were organized and separated into several different collections. Records detailing histories of specific theatres were labeled the Theatre File, materials containing information on theatre mechanics, cinema chains, architects, THS members, vaudeville circuits, among other topics became the Subject Files, Photos that were used in the publication of Marquee were gathered into the Editors Collection, photographic slides, postcards, and negatives became the THS Slide Collection, THS Postcard Collection, and THS Negative Collection respectively. These collections came from THS members and donations made throughout the organization’s history. Scope and Contents Note The THS Postcard collection consists of 4.75 linear feet, numbering 3,370 postcards. The postcards are organized geographically by country, state, and grouped into folders by city. City folders may contain multiple theatres or street scenes. The folder listing below indicates the number of postcards and the individual theatres represented. Folders may contain duplicates of postcards. The postcards range in size from 3.5” x 5.25” and larger. All postcards are housed in 5.25” x 7.25” transparent archival sleeves. Several items in the collection are booklets featuring multiple postcards. The collection dates back to the late 1800’s. Items were dated using post marks and the design of postcards to approximate a date range in which it was produced. Not all postcards were dated, therefore that information was not included in this finding aid but available, however the ones that are dated and those dates are noted in records that can be viewed in THS’s online catalog. Postcards in this collection were produced using a number of different processes as the medium evolved. The collection includes real photo postcards, photochrome, chromolithography, and halftone printing processes among others. (c) Theatre Historical Society, 152 N. York St., 2nd Floor Elmhurst, IL THS Postcard Collection, Page 1 of 23 Previous work with collection included tagging individual postcards with an ID numbers. This was not uniformly completed so grouping by city was deemed sufficient for processing for the time being. Identification of individual postcards may be completed in the future. The postcards came to THS from a number of different sources. The following is a list of persons who donated postcards to THS that appear in this collection. Due to the unknown provenance of some of the postcards the complete list contributors is unknown.

I’m incredibly grateful for the time she took to share her knowledgeable insight and provide thorough feedback. Committee members Dr. Jason Weems and Dr. Catherine Gudis also brought valuable depth to my project through their knowledge of American architecture, urbanism, and preservation. The department of Art History at the University of California, Riverside (UCR) made this project possible by providing me with a travel grant to conduct research in New York City. Carnegie Hall’s archivists graciously guided my research at the beginning of this project and provided more information than I could fit in this thesis. I could not have accomplished this project without the support of Stacie, Hannah, Leah, and all the friends who helped me stay grounded through the last two years of writing, editing, and talking about architecture.

    Theatres Trust supports 40 more theatres with final Theatre Reopening Fund grants The national public advisory body for theatre has awarded a further £155,265 of grants to help theatres with costs of Covid-secure reopening, including changes to the building to reduce congestion, improvements to ventilation systems and simple measures like installing hand sanitisers and screens. The theatres supported reflect the vital elements that make up the theatre ecosystem with awards made to significant producing theatres – Hampstead Theatre, Lyric Hammersmith, Pitlochry Festival Theatre, Theatre Royal Bath – major receiving houses Capital Theatres and Worthing Theatres, venues specialising in dance (Northern Ballet), new writing (Traverse, New Diorama, Gate Theatre) and one of the country’s few puppet theatres, Upfront Theatre. Community theatres across the country have received grants, including young people-focused Blue Elephant Theatre and Hanger Farm Arts Centre, which works with people with learning disabilities. Theatres Trust has also given grants to help reopen every type of theatre building, including the country’s last remaining Regency theatre, Theatre Royal Bury St Edmunds, theatres in converted cinemas (People’s Theatre and Blackburn Empire) and former churches (Headgate Theatre and Lowestoft Players Theatre), pub theatres (Jack Studio Theatre), outdoor theatre (Rutland Open Air) and even a travelling theatre – Paines Plough. Theatres Trust Director Jon Morgan says, We are beginning to look forward to a time when theatres can reopen, welcome audiences back inside and continue to play a vital role in their communities. It has been a difficult year, but Theatres Trust is pleased to have been able to support so many theatres through this grant scheme as well as our free advice service and the #SaveOurTheatres Crowdfunding campaign.

  • Lost Masterpiece of British Documentary Cinema Now Restored and Completed by IWM, Will Be Released to Coincide with the 70 Anniv
    Lost masterpiece of British documentary cinema now restored and completed by IWM, will be released to coincide with the 70th anniversary of the liberation of Bergen-Belsen in April When British troops liberated the German concentration camp of Bergen-Belsen in April 1945, their horrific discoveries were documented by army and newsreel cameramen. So powerful and damning was their footage that the British Ministry of Information quickly determined that it should be used – alongside Soviet and American footage – to create a documentary which would condemn the Nazi regime and shame the German people into acceptance of Allied occupation. The film, German Concentration Camps Factual Survey (cert 18 tbc), will be made available to cinemas UK-wide through BFI Distribution from 16 April 2015, coinciding with the 70th anniversary of the liberation of Bergen- Belsen (15 April) and the commencement of filming (16 April). Described by one critic as ‘an impressive and important piece of filmmaking, restored with intelligence and care by the museum’, German Concentration Camps Factual Survey has been digitally restored and, with the assembly for the first time of the sixth and final reel, IWM has completed the film to the instructions laid down by the original production team which included producer Sidney Bernstein, editors Stewart McAllister and Peter Tanner and writers Colin Wills and Richard Crossman. In addition to this core production team, Sidney Bernstein sought the help of Alfred Hitchcock, who is known to have given important advice on how the film should be put together. The story behind the production of German Concentration Camps Factual Survey was recently explored in the internationally screened documentary Night Will Fall, directed by André Singer for Spring Films and Angel TV.
