Comments on Use

We have actively worked to document our sources and have managed to avoid using commercial photos from major studios. The articles herein are posted to show another view of film and its related history. The photos from small groups of dance, theatre and musical arts are presented in an attempt to illicit support for them. The articles and photos on entertainment and theaters are meant to educate and inform people as to why preservation is necessary. Certainly the few remaining old movie theaters deserve our thoughtful attention and continued support. 

If we have overlooked giving proper credit to anyone or there is a question on the appropriate use of any material, please contact us by sending an e-mail to us: Astor Theater
