These are some of the architect's interior record photographs of the Silver Theater taken on September 16, 1938. They are used courtesy of The Wolfsonian Foundation.

	The street lobby welcomed guests with Art Deco designs on walls, doors, floor, and ceiling.
	The doors leading from the lobby to the auditorium were faced with Formica inlaid, according to the blueprints, with silver.
	The large waiting area inside the lobby doors at the rear of the auditorium featured Art Deco carpet and wall coverings.
	The seating area was open to the waiting area. The ceiling and corners received Art Deco emphasis.
	The front corners, like the rear corners, featured melodromatic, wing-like shelf lighting.
	The decorative elements direct attention to the stage curtain and the screen behind it.
