Early '30's Movie Premiere Photos







Some pictures of Hollywood movie premieres of the early thirties, from the El Brendel blog. It appears that some of these photos were from the same premieres. A poster for Ann Harding's DEVOTION ( 1931 ) can be seen in the background of several pictures, and a poster for Maurice Chevalier's THE SMILING LIEUTENANT can be seen in some of the others. Some of the same flower arrangements can also be seen in more than one picture.

Reblogged from http://www.elbrendel.com/2009/10/early-30s-movie-premiers-part-2.html

That could be the same poster in the background, but it isn't clear.

That looks like the same poster as in the previous picture.
