Description
"I adore the theater and I am a painter. I think the two are made for a marriage of love.
I will give all my soul to prove this once more."

A crowd teems around The Roxy Theatre, Northampton, Pennsylvania to purchase their tickets to a Saturday night show on a warm May evening in this high contrast monochrome shot.
The Roxy originally opened in 1921 as the Lyric. This theatre was renovated in 1933 in the tremendously popular art deco style - and renamed The Roxy after the famous New York City theater and its namesake showman Samuel Roxy Rothapfel.
Today, as the city's only commercial theatre, the Roxy continues to be the greatest show in town, presenting both Hollywood favorites and live entertainment. It features a seven rank Wurlitzer pipe organ.

The monotones made this look rustic and gives a nostalgic feel to this nice piece of work!
