Description
Photograph of a view of the tableau stage in the Mayan Theater, ca.1925. A small side stage is shown at center, one of two narrow stages that flank the main stage to either side. A drop curtain that appears to be referencing Egyptian art is pictured at the center of the stage, while a framework of faux-Mayan relief carving delineates the shape of the curtain. Several rows of seats can be seen in the lower portion of the image.
