The plan of this theatre is shaped like a man’s head. It has two balcony levels. The facade of this theatre is accented with graceful Philippine Art Deco style reliefs.
Apparently, by 2008, only the facade remains, the rest of the theatre which was being used as a restaurant has been demolished.

“The plan of this theatre is shaped like a man’s head,” according to the introduction. Explanation, PLEASE!!! The writer might have meant shaped like the skull of a human, but even that doesn’t make sense to me in regard to theatre architecture.
