DeSoto Theater, Rome, Georgia, USA

The DeSoto Theater was specially built in 1928 for the new talking pictures.  It opened in 1929 and was the first movie theater in the Southeast to show talkies.  The typography and lights on the marquee and the box office in the entryway hearken back to an earlier time.  With movies now shown mostly in multiplexes, the theater is now used for stage plays.
