Do you know how and why these phots ended up at the library of congress? Are you going to purchase a copy of the book “The Incredible History of The Academy Theater”?

I have just completed a magnificent book entitled “The Incredible History of the Academy Theater”. It is a coffee table book with more than 60 vintage photos. It shows the correlation between S. Charles Lee, Charles Skouras,Julius Shchulman and Rev. Doyle Hart four men with incredible vision. The book also has a copy of the original program from the premier of “Another Thin Man” held at the Academy on November 9, 1939. There is also a photo of William Powell and Myrna Loy in the lobby and much much more. If you would like to pre-order a copy or attend the invitation only reception which will be held in the lobby of the Academy, email
