A building’s interior detail can be as expressive as those on its exterior surface. The Orpheum Theater, which appeared in the previous image, is no exception. Its lovely baroque ornamentation was intended to enhance the theatrical experience itself. This niche in the theatre’s lobby, framed by figured tiles, contains a vase holding a spray of delicate flowering stems. The lobby niche expressed a sense of elegance, wealth, and beauty, all of which are what the Orpheum experience is all about.
