EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative black-and-white photograph captures the Night View of the Convention Hall in Atlantic City, New Jersey, circa 1936. The iconic auditorium and Convention Hall, later known as Boardwalk Hall, stand proudly against the backdrop of the darkened Atlantic Ocean. Originally conceived as a health resort, Atlantic City had transformed into a popular tourist destination, earning the moniker "The World's Playground." With its vast seating capacity of 40,000, the Convention Hall played a pivotal role in Atlantic City's burgeoning tourism industry. The annual Miss America Pageant, held within its walls, attracted thousands of spectators from across the United States and beyond. The pageant, which began in 1921, held the distinction of having the largest seating capacity for a convention hall in the world at the time. The beach and seaside setting, illuminated by the moon and the twinkling lights of the boardwalk, add to the allure of this nighttime scene. The photograph transports us back to the 1930s, a time of excitement and glamour, when Atlantic City was the place to be for tourists seeking entertainment and relaxation by the sea.
