Good morning, I have a 60 minute 16mm film on the 100th anniversary of Mare Island. It has no sound but the
footage goes back to WW1 and WW2 through the 1950's. The film condition is ok, but sensitive, it needs to
be converted to digital. If you think you might be interested let me know so we can work out a deal.
Thanks Rob

theaters - seeking info


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

Thanks, but I am not technical enough to be able to do that. If I did I wouldn’t know how to save a picture of something on the reel anyway. I appreciate you getting back to me. john
