This photo, taken in the 1970, shows the Theatre Proscenium in all of its splendor. Note the hand-painted Spanish garden scene on the asbestos fire curtain. The curtain is but one more piece of the ornamentation designed to recreate the atmospheric sense of a Spanish Andalusian Garden, and still hangs in the Orpheum today!
