NRHP Nomination Form"The theater is a mix of Art Deco elements
such as vertical panels of black and white structural glass, terrazzo floors and geometric patterns below the relatively large marquee, and moderne touches such as smooth white stucco surfaces of the stepped marquee. The metal marquee is itself a Moderne feature, with horizontal patterns, curved corners, and a stark black and white finish set off by neon trim.
