Vintage Theater Programs Check out the films (including short comedies, newsreels, and cartoons) that were showing at particular theaters during the silent and early sound film era.  Notice that the big fancy theaters had big, fancy programs.  Some theaters had live stage shows before or during the presentation.  In the early years, films were just one act on a vaudeville program.
