I'm writing for help in piecing together a puzzle. I'm searching for a source of information on the growth of movie theaters in NorthCarolina from 1900 - 1943. I've left messages with a number of IATSE offices in NC as well as the main headquarters in NY but haven't heard back from anyone yet. I was wondering if you knew a projectionist or historian through the association of movie equipment collectors who might be familar with the growth of motion picture theaters in North Carolina. I would appreciate any information that you can offer.Best regards, Karen Glynn karen_m_glynn@valkyrie.oit.duke.edu This letter was forwarded to me by Alan Kattelle, founder of The Movie Machine Society, historian and and author of the book Home Movies <www.homemoviehistory.com> who wrote, "The attached message is from a pleasant young woman who has a masters in Library Science and last I knew was looking for a film archivist's job..." I hope readers can help Karen with her request.--Gerard

Theater organ societies are another place to try as well as local historical musuems/organizations.Local commercial photographers that have been in business for a long time usually have real photographs of these old theaters in their archives.
