Bailey (Bob) Studios

By the mid 1930s, Bob Bailey had turned to industrial and educational filmmaking in the Houston area, leaving still photography to his younger brother, Marvin. He named the new business Bob Bailey Productions. In addition to making industrial films, he documented local football games, community events, and did newsreel work for Fox and Movietone News, who occasionally assigned him to stories. See “Part I: Photographs” for more information about the Baileys and their still photography business.
