This picture is a shot of a firefighter who entered the theater just days after its March of 1933 relaunch and refurnishing as the Fair Theater. He’s in standing water as the theater suffered major hail damage, shattering the glass doors and windows. Five feet of water flooded the newly remodeled theater closing for a short period.
