Two photographs of the proscenium arch of the Mayan Theatre: one directly in front of the arch and including the ceiling lighting. The other from an angle and including th orchestra pit. The pictures were taken at different times--the curtain and decorations to each side differ. Morgan, Walls and Clements designed the building in Mayan Revival style. It was built in 1926 and opened in August 1927.
