1931 Fox Theater stage

Details

DescriptionScenes presented on the walls of the auditorium are the sort that appear to change at each Inspection, semblance of depth Is given by the use of plaster and each figure stands out from the wall. Green, rose, gold and black are used against the back ground of silver. Gazelles In silver and gold are being pursued by men armed with bows. The decorator has enlivened the scenes by reproducing the sense of action in the still pictures. Modernistic streaks of rose outlined In gold appear at Interval and the spaciousness of the effect not marred by the crowding of figures.'
