Foyer Off the Dress Circle
ing over some months has resulted in the creation of a unique body of young men whose chief duty is to act as hosts on behalf of the management. Specially selected for appearance and physique, the Corps has had a thorough training in Courtesy, Efficiency and Good Conduct. The collection of statuary and objects d'art represents one of the largest and choicest assemblage of art treasures established for the adornment of a theatre. Here are displayed reproductions by the best craftsmen of Europe and America of the priceless statuary in the Louvre and other continental Meccas of the connoisseurs of plastic beauty.
Development of Large Cities
The State Theatre and Shopping Block is a natural development of the large city with its huge population existing within limited areas and thus putting an ever increasing premium on ground space. The idea incorporated in the Shopping Block is simply a building with II floors of "street space" by means of upstairs arcades affording window display space and accessibility to shops located on upper floors of a building. Space is thus provided for 150 separate shops.
In order to carry out the uniformity necessary to accord with the general scheme of the building all shop fronts have attractive standard designs, and it is insisted that tenants shall attractively dress each shop window as a means of making each shopping floor ppealing to visitors. No plain windows are permitted in the arcade shops.
The front three floors have display windows fronting on Market Street, and the top floor is occupied exclusively as a cafe. The two basements have separate entrances with independent show windows.
