S. Charles Lee's deco movie theaters




Bibliodyssey posted a selection of magnificent Art Deco architectural designs by S. Charles Lee, including the two amazing movie theaters above. From the description of the Newsreel Theatre "Rio":

This design makes good use of a small urban lot by maximizing the advertising space. The design above the marquee is one unit, the design below another. The projecting marquee attracts the attention of both driver and pedestrian. The exterior could be of concrete, plaster, terra cotta, glass or plastic, the lettering in copper or white metal.
