- 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.

- Description:
- Exterior view of the Riviera Theater on Grand River Avenue in Detroit, Michigan. Designed by architect John Eberson designed in an "atmospheric/Italian Renaissance style, and resembled a palazzo, complete with a spectacular auditorium decorated to look like an outdoor courtyard. Its soaring grand lobby was equally stunning, complete with a grand marble staircase and not one but three great arched windows over front doors. A four-story vertical marquee spelled out the theater's name boldly over Grand River Avenue," from Cinema Treasures web site. The theater which could seat 2800 people opened in 1925 and was demolished in 1999.
