Series 4: Theater survey data 1956-1990

Scope and Contents

This series contains data from a survey of theaters in California conducted by Crabs in the early 1970s. There are surveys for each of the theaters included in the survey. The survey resulted in his California Theater Index 1971, which is in Box 64. The series also includes sketches, floor plans, photographs, and other materials. The theaters surveyed included smaller, local facilities in places such as Modesto, Bakersfield, Porterville, and South Gate, as well as a number of high school auditoriums. Original order has been maintained, with the exception of floor plans that were originally attached to materials in Box 61 but have been rehoused in Box 12 for preservation.
