I donated those. The 'artistic nude' photographs were styled as Egyptian hieroglyphs depicting the evolution of sound and making of movies. There will be a book of my movie theater images published by Spring 2025 which will include these images as well. I have photographed theaters built before 1965 in all 50 states. The book will be titled "Movie Theaters Across America" , Bauer and Dean publishing.

The walls of the Carib were saved by the bank and showed "artistic nude" silloettes in the 1930's style depicting the progress of light and sound up to modern movies.<br />I loved looking at them while waiting for the movie.KHarnnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4209040637317965593.post-35495416037783916522010-11-27T04:58:08.958-05:002010-11-27T04:58:08.958-05:00My mother and I lived near Northward Elementary in...My mother and I lived near Northward Elementary in 1981, and we would walk down to the Carib every week for a movie. They played the National Anthem before every showing, some people would stand, some wouldn't. I remember my mother smoking Salem 100's and the arm rest ashtrays. Distinctly remember the opening of "Time Bandits". 99 cents for the movie in the smaller room, I believe? I'm desperately trying to find ANY pictures of the Carib in the late 70's/early 80's, both interior and exterior. any links, attachments or a point in the right direction would be appreciated!oceanax@mail.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4209040637317965593.post-33673344686445408512010-09-17T23:32:11.213-04:002010-09-17T23:32:11.213-04:00i lived in clearwater from 1949-1975 i went to the...i lived in clearwater from 1949-1975 i went to the carib theater whe it first opened,it was really something back then, clearwater was so different then,it was a great place to grow up in,they used to have saturday morning movie club, they gave prizes to people in the audienceit was a exciting time. wilson ballAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4209040637317965593.post-47548957269861031002009-09-18T14:18:06.929-04:002009-09-18T14:18:06.929-04:00This is priceless stuff....
