Summary

Poster announcing opportunity for the public to attend free programs, such as movies, concerts, exhibits, and tours, at the American Museum of Natural History, Central Park West and 79 St., New York City, showing a totem pole.

Forms part of: Work Projects Administration Poster Collection (Library of Congress).

Movie posters and movie theaters.

The popularity of “moving pictures” grew in the 1920s. Movie "palaces" sprang up in all major cities. For a quarter or 25 cents, Americans escaped their problems and lose themselves in another era or world. People of all ages attended the movies with far more regularity than today, often going more than once per week. By the end of the decade, weekly movie attendance swelled to 90 million people. The silent movies gave rise to the first generation of movie stars. At the end of the decade, the dominance of silent movies began to wane with the advance of sound technology.
