The Senator Theatre, Baltimore - Big Screen

The Senator Theatre, Baltimore

They really have done a great job restoring the main auditorium at The Senator Theatre, Baltimore. The original metre tall sconces along the wall were trashed but even those have returned in the form of modern replicas.

  1. Those blue and orange racing stripes along the side walls are sleek, very Deco and appealing.

    But there is a lot of pink. Do the records remain from the original Senator Theatre, suggesting whether pink was popular back then or not?

    1. I've seen many pink and black domestic bathrooms but they might be from a slightly later period.

  2. You correctly said it was quite a building. It's a brave use of colour at times, but it works very well.

    1. You certainly will Susan. It's just been re-opened a couple of months so everything is looking really great.

  4. From what I read about the restoration they studied the old paint layers to recreate it. Kara

    1. Looks like they've gone to a lot of effort and no doubt the results are worth it. The people of Baltimore really need to get out and watch movies here. So much better than the same old, same old multiplex at a shopping mall.
