This is truly a baffling image! Someone has digitally added Fox-Skouras style ornament to a vintage photo of the interior of the Columbia Theatre. I have never heard of a Skouras remodel being done that far East, but I suppose it’s not impossible. Montana has at least one. Question is—is this someone’s recent photographic pipe dream, or did this remodel actually happen?

The “fins” were apparently used to adjust seating capacity, and could be extended to the side walls of the orchestra floor, as shown in another photo taken during a stage performance.

I think this photo is during the remodel. The original drapery and fake box organ grills are still intact. The fins are sitting on top of the seats waiting to be installed on the side walls and the stage area will be cover up in all new drapes.
