Prepping The Majestic

In honor of Oscar Night I'm adding a movie theatre to the town (which hasn't been named yet).

But since this is 1919 the movie posters and "what's playing" have to be accurate. You will see a lot of attention to whatever accuracy is possible throughout the project.

I found a resource online that displays movie posters year by year and downloaded a bunch. Then I kept shrinking them down until I found the right scale. To give you an idea of the scale we're talking about... here's a bunch of display boards with shrunken posters already attached. That's a nickel...



So I decide what's playing is a movie by Charlie Chaplin and one by Tom Mix - both released and viewed during the year 1919. The other posters are used... they're just inside the theatre. Once I get it lit, you'll be able to see the lobby. Until then, let's get some popcorn!

Didn't Birth of A Nation come out around that time? I think that would add a little flair to your movie theater. :) It looks beautiful.

Forgive me if this is an ignorant statement, but: I absolutely love this new(?) hobby(?) of yours.
