Vintage Black and White Photographic Prints of Event Spaces and Performances

This set of vintage black and white photographic prints appears to date from the mid-20th century, likely the 1950s or 1960s based on the fashion of the audience and the style of the musical equipment. The bottom photograph features a live band performing on a stage with a banner reading 'SHOWER OF STARS,' a common name for variety shows or televised music programs of that era. Visible instruments include a double bass, drum kit with 'Ludwig' style branding, and several microphones. The audience members have hairstyles typical of the late mid-century. The two upper photographs depict large indoor venues, possibly gymnasiums or arenas, meticulously arranged with hundreds of folding chairs for a formal event. One image shows an altar-like setup on a stage, suggesting a religious or commemorative service. Physically, the prints are glossy gelatin silver or similar processed paper. The condition includes some curling at the edges, minor silvering common in aging prints, and a possible hole punch on the left side of the 'Shower of Stars' image. There are visible reflections on the surfaces, suggesting they are either under plastic sleeves or have a high-gloss finish. The composition and lighting suggest professional event photography intended for archival or publicity purposes.
