Photograph
Sepia-tone photo of the exterior of the recently opened Fabian Theatre, southeast corner of Newark & Washington Sts., Hoboken, December 18, 1928. 8" x 10" print. Photographer not identified. Reverse is blank. Job/image number in image: 1084-45; additionally numbered in image with negative number and date: 1499, 12/18/28.
This view looking southeast was apparently taken from the roof of Hoboken City Hall. Note: The motion picture, "Masks of the Devil." was released Nov. 17th, 1928 with "synchronized sound." If the Fabian was offering sound (this was the beginning of the "talkies" era), it is not noted on the marquee.
Water damage (stain) along right side. Rubber cement stains on the reverse. Also in this file is a 5" x 7" print of the same negative.
