i think the date is wrong? Does this look like the 50's to you? I have doubts.

Looks like the movie marquee to the left is showing "Return of the Texan" with Joanne Dru which came out in 1952.

Now that is an awesome sight! I love the luminous eyes of the monsters on the board above the ticket office. Is this advertising a double feature of Dracula and Frankenstein as one show? Using Bela Lugosi as Dracula and Boris Karloff as the monster it seems like it can't be for House of Frankenstein, Frankenstein Meets the Wolf Man, or House of Dracula and it doesn't appear to be for Abbot and Costello Meet Frankenstein. The Dracula poster is definitely for the 1931 movie and the Frankenstein imagery on the right is from the 1931 original as well, but the standee is from Bride of Frankenstein. Looks like a double feature to me.

Don't you wish they had displays like that today I sure do.

Frankenstein at the Fordham Theatre - New York City - 1931





Invisible Monster (Serial) at the Alhambra Theatre - Shelbyville, Indiana - 1950's

Actually, the Invisible Monster is about a criminal wrapped in invisible cloth, but invisibility figures into the story as much as it does in 1933's "The Invisible Man".

i wish theaters did stuff like that today.
