Bright Lights & Busy Nights |
Vintage photos of the bright lights of downtown New Orleans! Two of the movies playing were released in 1941, so that's probably the date for all of the photographs in the first group. The photos at the bottom of the page are from the early 1900's. Nancy |

Loew's State Theater, Canal Street; movie playing - "They Met in Bombay," starring Clark Gable and Rosalind Russell, 1941. |
This must not have been too long after electric lights came to the downtown area? Looks as if Mardi Gras was in full swing. Time period, between 1900-1910. |
