What is On-Screen Advertising?
During restoration of the Rose Theatre in 1992, glass lantern slides dating
to the 1920s were discovered above the old projection booth. These beautifully
preserved color-tinted slides promoted coming attractions at the Rose as
well as local businesses and events. Today these historical images are projected
in the Rosebud before each feature presentation.
Blending history and the needs of today's ever-changing business market, on-screen
advertising offers local businesses a unique opportunity to expand their image
as well as promote products and services. Slides that are aesthetically
consistent with the ambience of the Rose tend to stimulate conversation among
audiences before the start of the feature.
Producing Your Slide
The Rose will offer guidance and advice as you or a local professional produces
your slide. We will be able to tell you what design elements work best
in this format and provide you with examples of effective and attractive advertising. Frank
Ross Photographic of Port Townsend has produced most of the slides for our screen
and is a recommended resource. He can be reached at 360.385.7533.
