ALHAMBRA THEATRE DAILY REPORTS ALHAMBRA THEATRE DAILY REPORTS book OR search current auctions Auction History Result 6p002 ALHAMBRA THEATRE DAILY REPORTS theater accounting book '37 receipts & movies of that year! Date Sold 3/16/2014 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. A Vintage Hardcover Theater Accounting Book (measures 9" x 11 1/2" [23 x 29 cm]; 800 pages) (Learn More) Alhambra Theatre Daily Reports, the 1937 California movie theater accounting book containing detailed booking sheets and daily box office receipts for every single movie played at the Alhambra Theatre in San Francisco, California from January 3rd 1937 to January 1st 1938! The person who compiled the book glued the bank deposit ticket for each day's receipts onto that day's report (receipts would vary from the low hundreds to the high hundreds depending on the day of the week, and of course what movie they were showing). This is a fascinating look back into a working movie theater from one of the most important years in the history of movies. What is fascinating is that they wrote down EVERYTHING that they showed each day, including the names of the shorts, newsreels, and cartoons (and in 1937, this theater was showing a double bill every day, so there are two movies each day). If you stayed for the entire show, you were in the theater for 3 to 4 hours! Important Added Info: Note that in January, we auctioned a similar accounting book for a different theater, and from 1929, and that book auctioned for $292. Of course, the movies from 1937 are far more recognizable (and have more top stars) than the movies from 1929, which makes this book even more interesting! Also note that we have pictured the front cover and several interior 2-page spreads. Condition: very good to fine. The pages of the book have darkened somewhat and there is slight discoloration on the cover, but overall, I would say this book has survived in about as good condition as one could possibly hope given its age!
