- Description:
- Completed in 1921, the Rylander Theatre originally operated as a vaudeville theater. This slide depicts the ornate interior of Americus, Georgia's Rylander Theatre, viewed from an elevated angle. The ceiling is elegant: white with intricate gold detailing of patterns painted along the edges. Large, white, circular light fixtures hang from the ceiling. The focal point of the photo is the stage with a tall, dark curtain bearing the Rylander Theatre's prominent red "R" logo encircled by a decorative pattern. Above the curtain is a large mural with classical figures set in an arched alcove. The theater's walls are richly decorated with molded panels and elaborate columns. A vintage organ is positioned on the stage floor, facing the audience. Variant names include: Rylander Theatre.
