Title:
Helix Theatre. 1947-1948 - La Mesa
Creator:
S. Charles Lee
Description:
The design evolved into a storefront remodel using every device to capture attention from the passerby. The strong diamond pattern applied to the upper story, the series of vertical posts applied at street and the paneled entry doors draw attention to the centerpiece, the curving neon-outlined marquee. A curved box office at the sidewalk and poster cases framed in wavey edged box frames are overwhelmed by the other design elements. Here, the chief purpose of the design is to draw attention to the storefront by using a variety of cheap applied elements without regard for design integration.
