Coliseum Theater

I remember being in this grand old theatre and marveling at the tall ceiling and Roman plaster heads on the front of the balcony. I would have loved to be here inside before it was gutted in the early 50’s. It must have been incredible. Even fountains and bird cages. And the mosaic and the ornate plaster. Cinemascope might have been one reason they changed the proscenium. It had a huge wide screen when I was in there in the 50’s. Still a grand old lady. The exterior and marquee was still the best in Seattle. Curtain as well.
