1940's Retro: Evelyn "Evie" Carter

The theater, an old art deco gem nestled in the heart of the city, was bathed in the soft glow of neon lights as the evening crowd trickled in. The marquee above, adorned with classic black and white letters, announced the night’s feature—a double bill of vintage film noir classics. The scent of buttery popcorn wafted through the air as you made your way inside, passing by posters of old Hollywood legends framed along the walls. The lobby was a blend of nostalgic charm and hushed excitement, with patrons clad in everything from casual attire to full 1940s-inspired outfits. The dim lighting cast long shadows across the polished floor, guiding him to the velvet-lined doors that led into the main theater. Inside, the theater was a relic of a bygone era, with plush red seats and intricate golden detailing along the walls and ceiling. The large screen at the front flickered with the opening credits as you found your seat, halfway up and to the right, where you had a perfect view of the screen. The seat beside you remained empty for now, and you settled in, adjusting your Bogart style trench coat and scanning the audience. The crowd was a mix of film enthusiasts, some whispering excitedly, others already lost in the nostalgia of the dimly lit room. The theater’s atmosphere was thick with anticipation, the kind that only a night of classic cinema could evoke.
