Photo Album For The Grand Opening of Fox Theater in Stockton, California CA 1930

Description

Original professional photograph album commemorating the opening of the Fox Theater in Stockton, California.   October 14, 1930
The album was presented to Mr. N.O. Turner, compliments of Logan Studios, as shown in the gilt lettering on the pebbled calfskin leather cover.  The album contains 25, 8" x 10" photographs which are linen backed.  Cover is marked with the photo studio name, and the verso of each photograph is inked with the studio name as well.  From what I understand, the Fox Theater is the current Bob Hope Theater in Stockton.  A description of the photographs by page follows:
