What film were they watching??
Not sure. The caption said "The Horror", but that was a 2017 film. The people were definitely not a modern group. The article just talked about 3D films generally and so forth.
Edit: The Horror may refer to the persons collection of photos to credit where it came from. ??
But there were lots of those movies and we can imagine what they were seeing. I remember reacting like this.

The picture is all over the internet but I could not find a definite source. The only reference that I found was that they were watching The House of Wax, one of the first color movies released in 3D. But it's just a blurb I found on a Pinterest page .
Yes, it is found in a lot of places. I edited my post above. It seems like the article I read credited "The Horror" as the person's collection of photos. So, there is no telling where it actually came from. That is the trouble with a lot of photos that get passed around.
It was a fun rabbit hole to go down though

Yep. I remember doing that and probably will look up titles ( and remember the ones I went to see ).

I can't figure out if Mad magazine taught me sarcasm or whether, as a Sagittarius, sarcasm just come naturally to me. Loved reading Mad in the 60s & 70s.Mad Magazine Artists Al Jaffee And Will Elder, In The Lunchroom At The High School For Music And Arts In New York City, 1936
"The 'Penny Sit-Up', Salvation Army shelter, Blackfriars, London, c1900 (1901). The Penny Sit-Up, one of the first homeless shelters to be created in Blackfriars, was operated by the Salvation Army during the late 19th century and early 20th century as a response to the high rates of homelessness due to eviction orders. The individuals could pay a penny to sit in the warm room all night. Lying down was not permitted. From Living London, Vol. 1, edited by George R. Sims. [Cassell and Company, Limited, London, Paris, New York & Melbourne, 1901]"
"Elizabeth Himmelsbach, born on May 22, 1907, became known as Adrienne Dore, an American actress and model. She was the first runner-up in the Miss America pageant in 1925, which led to a five-year contract with Universal Pictures and, in 1931, signed with Warner Bros. She had supporting roles in films like "Wild Party" (1929) with Clara Bow and starred opposite Bette Davis in "The Rich Are Always With Us" (1932). Her final film appearance was in "Undercover Men" (1934). Adrienne married Burt Kelly in 1933, and they remained together until his death in 1983. Dore passed away the same year and is interred in Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin."

Good question, brother Sagittarius. I loved Mad too. Well, I don't believe in astrology but it's fun sometimes. I thought Jaffee might have been the inspiration for Alfred E Neuman.

She passed away nine years later in 1992.
Thanks for the correction ! Too late to edit it now. I should have double checked.
