I am researching film and film exhibition practices in the San
Francisco Bay Area in the 1920's and 1930's. And, I have found out
that the Post Exchange at both Fort McDowell (on Angel Island) and
Mare Island had a movie theater in the 1920's.
I am wondering if anyone might have information on which films were
shown at the Post Exchange movie theaters? Perhaps the base kept
records? Or perhaps the films were listed or advertised in the camp
newsletter?
Any help or suggestions would be appreciated. Did either of these
bases have a newsletter? And if so, were might they be archived?
sincerely
