Description
Photograph of an interior view of the Mayan Theater, showing the auditorium ceiling and balcony seating, ca.1925. The seating rows are pictured just at the lower edge of the image, extending into the background. Above, a large, circular chandelier-style light hangs from the ceiling, while in the right foreground, a male figure can be seen carved into the paneling on the wall in a faux-Mayan style. At center, one of the tableau stages and part of the main stage can be seen below.
