Title	Exterior view of the facade of the Mayan Theater, showing a scaffold sign tower on top, ca.1925
Description	Photograph of an exterior view of the facade of the Mayan Theater, showing a scaffold sign tower on top, ca.1925. The theater is shown from across the street, its left wall just visible above a parked automobile. Farther right, the theater itself is shown, a metal tower displaying its name perched on the edge of the roof. Below, the marquee advertises Elsie Janis in "The Musical Comedy Oh Kay". The building's front is decorated in faux-Mayan relief carvings. On the sidewalk beneath the marquee, three easels are positioned, with what appear to be photographs affixed on them. Streetcar tracks can be seen embedded in the road.
