Date Sold 2/5/2017 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. a lot of 1 New Mission Theatre movie theater accounting book containing detailed booking sheets and daily box office receipts for every single movie played at the New Mission Theatre in San Francisco, California from July 30th 1937 to June 29th 1938! The person who compiled the book glued the bank deposit ticket for each day's receipts onto that day's report (receipts would vary from the low hundreds to the high hundreds depending on the day of the week, and of course what movie they were showing). This is a fascinating look back into a working movie theater from one of the most important years in the history of movies. What is fascinating is that they wrote down EVERYTHING that they showed each day, including the names of the shorts, newsreels, and cartoons (and in 1937, this theater was showing a double bill every day, so there are two movies each day). If you stayed for the entire show, you were in the theater for 3 to 4 hours! Measurements: 9" x 11"Condition: very good. The pages of the book have darkened somewhat and there is are some dot stains on the covers, but this book is a really fascinating historical artifact, and is in otherwise pretty nice condition.
