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
.
