Picture this- after a hard week of school and work, local families, couples and groups of friends travel to downtown Northwood to take in a movie. As they enter, they see the movie's poster, along with what is coming next, displayed in glamorous display frames. That image is one straight out of Northwood's past, and, thanks to the efforts of TUNE, the future. While the forthcoming theater is certainly big news, one small touch of Northwood's theater past will be a part of Northwood's theater future, thanks to a donation from former Northwood resident Iver Iverson. Iverson recently returned to Northwood, bringing with him two unique display frames, ones that adorned a former Northwood theater. Iverson got the frames in late 1982, when he found them atop a pile of debris that had been cleared out of the creamery building, after it was sold to the Worth County Historical Society. Iverson took the frames with him as he attended college at the University of Iowa. It was there that they were put back into use advertising shows for a theatre of sorts. The frames were used to help promote No Shame Theater, the guerrilla theater troupe of University of Iowa students, of which Iverson's wife was a member. The frames were set up in a University of Iowa cafeteria, promoting upcoming No Shame Theater productions. Those productions were held after midnight in the parking lot of the college's theater department. The frames accompanied Iverson as he moved on following college, traveling to several apartments in Florida and New York City. The frames also had a stint displaying historical photos in a mansion hallway over the course of several apartments in Florida and New York City. Over that time, the glass of one of the frames was broken. With the small spaces inherent in apartment living, the broken frame was put into storage. In 1996, the remaining frame became the home of a large photograph with a connection to the classic movies it once promoted- with a large photo of Marilyn Monroe, in a classic bombshell pose, with perfume in hand. As Iverson prepared for a recent move to a smaller apartment, he was set to part ways with some of his more cumbersome furnishings. He heard about TUNE's theatrical efforts and decided that returning the frames to a cinematic use in Northwood would be an excellent way to put the frames to good use and free up some living space. Members of TUNE were only too happy to take the historic displays off Iverson's hands and make them a part of their theater, noting the nostalgic value, not to mention the unique designs. The frames are blue, with gold trim. Inside the display is a silver fabric background. "They were made in a 20th century way of doing things," said Iverson. "They have a trendy art deco design. In any other city, they would have been made of aluminum and bronze. They were obviously made in a good shop, because they have that metallic look, but are made of wood. It was a modern look without modern materials." When it comes to his own recollections of visiting Northwood's theater, it's limited to two movies he saw as a child, "Swiss Family Robinson" and "101 Dalmatians" With the new theater still in the works, how the donated displays will be put to use has not been decided, but their stance as a look back into Northwood's entertainment history will be valuable in the site of the latest in Northwood's entertainment spot
