Title	Crest Theater "Second" Lobby
Date	1949
Creator	Clarence Burkett
Description	Pictured on October 29, 1949, is the “second” lobby of the Crest Theater at 1013 K Street. During reconstruction that started in August 1948, the entrance to the theater was expanded to equal two storefront widths. Beyond this, visitors were greeted by two gold-colored sculpted reliefs, one of which is visible at left side of the photograph. Their California-related themes invoke gold panning and fruit picking. The ceiling at the upper part of the photograph is covered with gold leaves and feathers, a design concept that recurs throughout the venue. The painting on the far left side of the photograph is, again, distinctly California with its depiction of vineyards. The Crest opened three weeks before this photograph was taken.
