DUNBAR THEATRE

CENTRAL AVENUE, near MONUMENT STREET

The house of Talking Pictures, Vitaphone and Movietone. The most beautiful house for colored
people south of New York.

The Dunbar Theatre, operated by the Dunbar Amusement Corporation, with Mr. Josiah Diggs,
President; and Mr. Waiter W. Carr, Manager and Vice-President, is a monument to the industry,
untiring energy, and faith in the people of Baltimore manifest by its President and founder.

Mr. Diggs opened his house, which was then a much smaller building, with a capacity of 350
people, back in 1917, and by the dint of continual effort and persistency "carried on" until in Novem-
ber, 1923, he was compelled to rebuild on the original site when he enlarged his theatre to a mag-
nificent building, 75 x 100 feet, with a capacity of 1,000 people, making it the largest movie house
for our people in Maryland.

The Pictures exhibited are from the very best Studios and Producers of the country.
Visitors in the City should make it a special point to visit the Dunbar Theatre.
