View shows a portion of the front of the cinema, entrance doors (roped off) and ticket booth, advertisements for the currently-showing film The Rainmakers, accompanied by posters and mockups of Morton's Salt containers, apparently for a commercial promotion.
The theater was later demolished, and as of 1980 the location is now occupied by the Pan American Life Center, 601 Poydras Street.
English: Film The Rainmakers is listed by IMDB as being released 25 October 1935, making late 1935 the most likely date for this photo.
English: Photograph by Walker Evans for the United States Farm Security Administration; which was later transferred to the Office of War Information Photograph Collection and thence to the Library of Congress.
