Lot Essay

The collector, Suzanne Johnston writes, "Weegee was capturing expressions and postures of people inside the palatial movie theatres of Hollywood's Golden Age. One day in 1956, Weegee surprised us with a beautiful set of photographs that show the magical thrust of the projection beam over the audience." This image is unique.
