Downtown Jewelry Exchange was designed by B. Marcus Priteca, built as Pantages Theatre, and opened with vaudeville and a screening of The Courage of Marge O'Doone on August 17, 1920.
At this point, the main floor auditorium seats were removed, although the balcony and interior theater decorations remain.
[7] Downtown Jewelry Exchange is steel-frame and features a Beaux Arts design with additional Greek treatments.
The theater ceiling is covered in a sunburst mural surrounded by Egyptian, Oriental, Greek, and Roman figures, and the stage is flanked by Corinthian columns.
Lady Killer features a scene on the building's roof and the theater marquee is also shown briefly.
