Not really desiring to be argumentative but I have been unable to find any supporting evidence that anything but the mosaic was saved from the 1932 Long Beach Municipal Auditorium. Sad if true.

Looks like pretty much a total demolition underway to me and the only reference that I can find to anything having been saved has to do with the mosaic created in 1938 by the WPA.
