I posted loooong ago. But o do have a very large collection of stage shows at the Roxy during the early to mid 30’s. Thousands of negatives.
Still, no one thinks they are worth anything.
Amazing theatre. Wonderful time in NYC theatre history.
I have in my possession close to 1500 original negatives of the Roxy Theatre dating from 1934 – 1937. They are all during performance.
My family owned photo labs in NYC for many years (we bought the labs from the original owners ) and when we shut them down 12yrs ago I found these negs hidden under the metal shelving.
Some images include the Ballet Russe, The 3 Stooges, Olsen and Johnson, Lacoste playing tennis, and every floor show to perform there.
There are a few circuses and A LOT of full stage images of the most amazing set design.
Please tell me what I can do with this archive.
Thanks,
