  • <p>This large oil painting (measuring approximately 3 &frac12;' x 4') was a rendering by the Rambusch Decorating Company of their proposed concept for the Roxy Theatre. Faintly visible in the lower left corner is the inscription “Walter W. Ahlschlager, Architect. Chicago,” which was subsequently painted out.</p> <p>In its day, the image and line drawings based on it were often used in advertisements by purveyors to the Roxy. Interestingly, some of them show a lattice ceiling behind the dome instead of the beamed treatment actually built. So, originally, did the painting; upon close inspection, the “ghost” of the lattice is clearly visible beneath the overpainted beams. There are also a few other variations in architectural or decorative details between what’s shown in this rendering and what was actually built.</p> <p>The painting was acquired long ago by THS founder Ben Hall from the Rambusch studios and is now part of the Ben Hall Collection on display at the American Theatre Architecture Archives at THS headquarters in Elmhurst, Illinois.</p>

  • <p>A new custom-built Dolby Vision laser projector is flanked by upgraded 35mm and 70mm projectors; a fourth Barco projector will serve as a backup.</p> <p>Inside the 600-seat theater, everything — from the hue of the hand railings to the rigging of the curtains — was reconceived. A custom Dolby Atmos sound system required the installation of more than 70 Meyer speakers. On the newly installed, 50-foot screen, colors crackle while whites and blacks appear far more consistent than at your neighborhood multiplex.</p> <p>The DGA, which would not reveal the cost of the six-month renovation other than to say it was “a significant capital investment,” hired design experts at Gensler and specialists from Dolby to aid in the project.</p> <p>Photograph and text courtesy of DGA</p>
