Description
Photograph of an exterior view of the Pantages Theater in San Diego, ca.1920. At center, "America's Finest. Pantages. America's Finest" is visible on a sign above a wide street-level entrance, while "Viola Dana in the Beauty Prize" can be seen on another sign below the first. Rectangular windows can be seen on the floors above the signs, on which signs are visible reading, "Geo. A. Malette. Lewis R. Kirby. Law Offices", "Kirby", "Lewis R. Kirby Law Offices", "Kirby", "Lewis R. Kirby. Geo. A. Malette. Law Offices", and "Dr. Brace. Dentist".
