Author Topic: Help me find a date! (No not THAT kind of date) Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 07-17-2003 02:17 AM                        I just received a very old picture of my theatre's projection booth and I'm trying to put a date to it. In the picture there is a tear-off calendar, and it's possible to see the date "January 23," but the year is not visible. The calendar page is the "Saturday/Sunday" type, so I know the 23rd is on a Saturday. How can I figure out what year this is? I know it's between 1930 and 1957, and could probably pick out the correct year if I knew what years January 23 fell on Saturday. I know there's gotta be some kind of calculator for this on the web somewhere, but I haven't found it. Any help would be appreciated!  |  IP: Logged Christopher Duvall Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 500 From: Denver, CO Registered: Dec 1999 posted 07-17-2003 03:45 AM                     It is going to be multiple choice on this one... 1932 1937 1943 1954 Hope this helps some...  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 07-17-2003 03:49 AM                        The calendar is from 1943, but the picture was quite obviously taken on May 17, 1983 at 5:26pm Central Standard Time.  |  IP: Logged Nate Lehrke Master Film Handler Posts: 396 From: Denver, CO Registered: Oct 2002 posted 07-17-2003 04:01 AM                     What would FT do without Joe!?  |  IP: Logged Sam Hunter Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 779 From: West Monroe, LA, USA Registered: Jan 2002 posted 07-17-2003 09:42 AM                     Try this for fun, http://www.geocities.com/MadisonAvenue/1147/calendar.html  |  IP: Logged Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 07-17-2003 12:07 PM                        Joe -- No no no, it's after 7:00 PM because there is a movie in progress (they did not run matinees then)! Chris - Thanks, I think that will help me narrow it down.  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 07-17-2003 03:38 PM                        I called back to 1983 and they told me that they ran matinees on that particular day.  |  IP: Logged
