Description

The overlapping wall and ceiling surfaces, illuminated by indirect lighting, create a powerful perspective that focuses on the screen. The floor plan (2070001) and ceiling plan (2070001) show how the effect was achieved. Oversize leaf forms decorate the walls. Dark borders edging the ceiling panels accentuate the perspective.
Note on back of photograph: Glass brick and mirrored glass trim entrance towards street. Academy Theatre, Inglewood, Calif. Inside of doors is in wood to match wood paneling of walls. Poster case built into wall of foyer in such a way as to be seen altho inoffensive.
