Vintage 'Shower of Stars' Mid-Century Performance Photographs

This item consists of a collection of four original gelatin silver black-and-white photographs documenting a live variety performance titled 'Shower of Stars.' The images appear to date from the mid-20th century, approximately the 1950s or 1960s. Two of the photographs showcase the venue, which appears to be a large gymnasium or multi-purpose auditorium converted for a formal event, featuring rows of folding chairs, a long aisle runner, and an decorated stage. The other two photographs capture live performances on stage under a banner reading 'SHOWER OF STARS' against a star-flecked backdrop. These performance shots depict a line of female dancers in uniform costumes (reminiscent of cabaret or chorus girl attire) and a musical ensemble featuring a double bassist and other vocalists. The photographs are printed on standard photographic paper of the era. Visible condition includes some curling of the paper, edge wear, and slight creasing typical of age, though the contrast remains sharp and clear. There are no immediate signatures or studio stamps visible on the front of the prints. The collection provides a significant historical look at local entertainment and social events of the post-war period, demonstrating high-quality amateur or semi-professional documentary photography of the time.
