We use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) during our scanning and processing workflow to make the content of each page searchable. You can view the automatically generated text below as well as copy and paste individual pieces of text to quote in your own work.

Text recognition is never 100% accurate. Many parts of the scanned page may not be reflected in the OCR text output, including: images, page layout, certain fonts or handwriting.

THE PROSCENIUM, as seen from the balcony, has been designed to aid the ocular comfort, with lines on the side walls directed toward it. The modem motif has been handled in a dignified manner, thereby disposing of "gingerbread" effects. An interesting note is the floral murals. THE FRONT, as seen in the daytime, is very imposing and of massive appearance. Sturdily constructed of brick, it is indeed a structure worthy of recognition as one of the year's finest theatres. Compare this with night view, for Architect John Eberson's modern simplicity. REFERENCE FACTS: Size of Lot: 117 x 152 Seating Capacity: 995 Acoustical Treatment — Damask over Gimco rock wool.
