All photos by me. I apologize if they are too big!

Great Photos! It's hard to imagine that so many of the "lavish" theaters built around the country in the 1920s-1930s have been destroyed and their locations turned into parking lots. That was the fate of the one in the town of 15,000 I grew up in the '50s. (that town now has a metro population approaching 200,000)
