This single-screen movie house, originally opened in 1925, still continues to show first-run films. The exterior is an interesting mix of styles, with the upper half of the facade done in Tudor-style, the triangular marquee looking like late Streamline Moderne, and a bland, modern ground level.

Here is a marquee shot of the Tomahawk Cinema aka Lyric Theater.
Notice that the marquee is in poor repair, with open access ports on the bottom, no sign bulbs on the bottom, many missing on the sides, and the neon missing on the sides. Also, the “Tomahawk” boards are cheap plastic.
Also This link is probably more useful.
Are you implying that my link is useless or are you saying that your link has more photo’s?
I am implying that my link shows the rest of the photoset from the same photographer. Namely, me. You can of course feel free to link to anything on my flickr account, but i’d prefer if they were posted in sets.
I try not to link to entire albums. That way, other people can post to the individual photos if they choose. It gives other people something to post. In other words, I don’t want to be accused of being a “hog” and linking to the whole album myself. Nice photos!
