BRONX, NY — Hi, is it possible to purchase a 1940’s photograph of the Metro Theater on Webster Ave. in the Bronx? I was only six years old when I first saw King Kong in the Metro.
Thank you,
Lizabeth

CT does not sell photos, but if local sources (libraries, museums, film societies, universities, descendants of the original owners, architects) are not helpful, there is a good chance that the Theatre Historical Soc. of America www.historictheatres.org may be able to help. E-mail your wants to their Ex. Dir. whose address is at the bottom of their front page, and he may be able to find something.
Google Bronx Historical Society and contact them, also Backinthebronx.com and try a free wanted ad in craigslist.org.
Good Luck Lizabeth.
