- Description:
- The ornate facade of the Eastown Theater at Van Dyke and Harper in Detroit is further embellished by a vertical sign and a marquee, which advertises the theater's grand opening and a movie, " Sporting Blood", starring Clark Gable. A group of onlookers watches as a man stands at the top of a ladder that reaches to the top of the marquee. A string of pennants extends along the street in front of the marquee and down the front of the facade. Although it could accommodate stage shows, it was primarily a movie theater. It was designed by VJ Waier & Company.
