Description
Photograph of an exterior view of the Mayan Theater, showing the Belasco Theater adjacent, ca.1925. The Mayan is shown to the left, its facade decorated with faux-Mayan relief carvings and its marquee displaying the sign "Elsie Janis in the Musical Comedy Oh Kay". Below, three easles can be seen affixed with what appear to be collections of photographs. Farther right, the Belasco can be seen, its marquee advertising Taylor Holmes in "The Great Necker". Automobiles can be seen parked along the sidewalk and making their way down the road in the foreground.
