[SML] Vintage Drops Available?

[Pat Kight]

Looks like many of those are cut drops. Having helped rescue a few old 
drops when a local movie/vaudeville house was bought by the city some 
years ago, I can tell  you they don't hold up well when folded; the 
ancient paint tends to crack and dust, and it's almost impossible to get 
the creases out. Seems like there ought to be a theatrical museum or 
preservation group out there somewhere with the will and facilities to 
store the rolls...

There's a complete catalog of the drops, legs, etc., with information 
about the condition of each one, at 
https://www.cityofwinona.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/Backdrops-Drop-Details-for-Public-Meeting.pdf

That's a pretty remarkable resource in and of itself...
