This is a black-and-white negative image of a street scene featuring a storefront, a vintage car, and various signs and advertisements. The central focus is a building with "PIX" prominently displayed on a vertical sign attached to the facade, which suggests it may be a theater or cinema. Below, signs advertise movies, including titles like "The Cherokee Flash" and "A Loring Randolph Production." Next to the movie marquee is a business with a sign that reads "Lincoln Radio Sales-Service," possibly a retail or repair shop for radios.

The image includes a parked vintage car, likely from the early-to-mid 1900s, on the right. Surrounding the area is a blend of architectural features, including storefront windows, awnings, and a textured wall on the building above. The negative effect reverses light and dark tones, creating an inverted appearance. Visible film edges confirm it is part of photographic documentation.

The black and white image shows an old movie theater at night. The theater marquee displays "TO-DAY" and lists several movie titles, though the titles are difficult to make out clearly. The theater facade has "PIX" displayed prominently at the top. To the right of the theater entrance is a sign for "Lincoln Radio Sales Service".

An old car is parked in front of the theater, likely from the 1940s or 1950s based on its rounded hood and fender style. The theater's box office and poster display cases are visible, though details of the posters cannot be discerned in this photograph.
