Here’s a real treat: Years ago I purchased on eBay a series of poor quality plate glass negatives of Tamaqua. Maybe done by Baily Studios but I have no way of knowing. Among the pics was this incredible image of the INTERIOR of the luxurious Victoria Theatre around the time of its grand opening, 1914. Due to poor quality, I was unable to use this picture in the newspaper. But check out the monogrammed stage curtains, plus velvet drapes on the balconies! One can only imagine what this might have looked like in person, in full color.
