Advertising design for the premiere of the film "Battleship" Potemkin "in Moscow

The triumphal procession of the Battleship Potemkin began with the Khudozhestvenny movie theater on Arbat, which was then called the State Electrotheatre. The first spectators who arrived there on January 18, 1926 for the premiere were amazed not only by the film, but also by the premiere setting. The entire staff, from the ticketer to the projectionist, was dressed in a marine uniform, and the cinema's facade resembled a large model of a warship.
