Each side of the proscenium features statues of the mythical princess Atalanta of Arcadia in the style of Nordic/Aryan Olympic nudes. They hold glowing suns in each hand - with their rays running along the side walls of the auditorium. Author Ross Thorne points out that the ladies are partially clad in what is no doubt a gesture toward children’s matinee decency. 1935 colorized photo.
