The interior of the Forum (previously the State theatre) resembles a Florentine garden and the impressive exterior is in Saracenic mode.
The ceiling of the foyer and the auditorium are both painted dark blue and a features inside were the stars and clouds on the ceiling. The left side wall represented the Doge’s Palace in Venice and the right side wall the temple of the Venus de Capua in Naples. The Venetian style proscenium opening completed the decorations which were adorned with statues of naked gods and goddesses, imitation greenery and plaster doves.
