Image 19 from Negative Strip 32: Downtown of the front entrance to the Colony Club
Original 35mm black and white negative taken by Dallas Times Herald staff photographer William Beal. This image shows the entrance to the Colony Club in downtown Dallas on November 22, 1963. The entrance marquee contains posters advertising the performers, Chris Colt, Beverly Oliver, Toni Turner, Toi Rebel and Artie Brooks. The sign taped to the door glass reads 'Closed Tonight Only'. The negative is on Kodak Tri-X Pan Film. This image is labeled #19 on section 3 of negative strip 32.The old TMS record for the images on this negative strip indicate that the photographer was William Beal. Based on research conducted by collections intern Mark Davies in June and July 2012, curatorial and collections staff concluded that Beal did indeed take these pictures. He was accompanied by journalist Vivien Caslteberry, whose oral history confirms him as the photographer.
