The huge iron framed hall opened in 1910. It now features enormous Mexican movie posters. I base this composition on the rhythmic repetition of the six curving arched roof supports, seven smaller diagonal supporting bars, and the three huge posters. The incongruously cartoonish posters offer a diagonal band of color that flows in steps from the left hand edge to the lower right corner of the picture, while the series of arching roof supports reach from the lower left towards the upper right hand corner. These crossing diagonals flow in opposite directions, pulling the eye through the image twice.
