This collection includes approximately 40,000 photographs by commercial photographer Ralph Morris, who worked in the Los Angeles area from 1939-1981. His advertising and industrial clients included department stores, restaurants, the automobile and petroleum industries as well as business executives. Also included is the Luckhaus Studio collection of architecture, fashion, the movie industry, sports and street scenes, images which Morris obtained in 1939. Two separate pictures taken at the Theater Owners of America meeting. The tope picture is outside the conference room, with Billboards advertising movies for UA (Another Man's Poison, The Green Glove, and The River), and for Cecil B. Demille (The Greatest Show on Earth). The lower picture shows the long table, 2-3 rows of chairs, microphone, glasses and papers in an empty conference room.
