1937 photo Oakdale Theatre - Al Johnson

My grandfather Al Johnson completed two construction jobs on the Oakdale. Previously I only had his two 1948 Kodachrome slides (posted here earlier), but I just found this 5x7 black and white image in his widow Anne’s papers. On the back of the photograph Al Johnson had written “Hazel Park.”

My uncle Al Johnson Jr. listed the two projects as “original” and “1947.” Given that the two films in the black and white photo were released in 1937, I’m guessing that the “original” Johnson Construction Company job was done on or before 1937.

Comparing this earlier (apparently 1937) image of the Oakdale Theatre with the later images, it’s clear that the more ornate marquee in this image was later replaced by a more streamlined marquee more typical of the 1940s. I’m assuming that the 1947 Johnson project included this marquee replacement. -Andy Gray
