THE EXTREME in marquee construction is evident in this night view. The rectangular upper portion carries the theatre name in neon and covers almost the entire sidewalk. The soffut has been purposely dimly lighted so as not to detract from the triangular lower portion on which is given the current attraction in modern silhouette letters. The soffut of this portion serves to illuminate the entrance and ticket booth. Vitrolite structural glass has been used to embellish the lower portions of the facade and entrance.
