Projector Progress
This motion picture projector from the silent film era is a Simplex Carbon-Arc.
In the 1930s the Glove Theatre was one of the first theatres equipped with sound when RCA incorporated sound into the projector.
The Glove was later in the vanguard of cinemascope usage and Todd-AO, a technique of surrounding the audience with sound for greater realism.

When Candy Bars were a Nickle
This candy machine (circa 1950) once served the Glove Theatre patrons. You could insert ten cents and get a candy bar and a nickel back. What a deal!!!!

Usher's Uniform
This uniform was worn in the 40s and 50s by the head ushers. The Schine insignia was always on the left shoulder of the uniform. The uniform had to be pressed and presentable for the patrons of the theatre.
