A long hallway with a tile floor the walls have fake windows of ornate design the walls are teal, and one side is lined with column that I guess are supposed to look like they are Aztec?

The lobby of the theater ornate designs and bright colors are everywhere, every inch of the ceiling has an ornate design, same for much of the walls.  The colors are teal, red, and gold

2/2 Walking into the Valencia even the vestibule quickly throws you into the Mesoamerica motif they're going for in this Theater. But once you get into the lobby the beauty and color really hits you.

The balcony of the lobby is all gold and red, with red velvet hanging and detailed carings in the city.  And the lights are cool too.

above the carved (faux) wood columns the lights are wonderful pieces of Art Deco design themselves.

2/5 At The King's Theater in Brooklyn (named after Kings County rather than the Borough of Brooklyn because New York loves government entities) stepping out of the theater to use the bathroom is a journey of elegance.

Deep gold and red - those are pretty much the colors of the room, outside of the dark brown wood siding.  It is an ornate room with multiple chandeliers.

1/5 Brooklyn is home to one of the 5 Wonder Theaters. And though the theater is amazing (as is Brooklyn) I hate to say it, it's the least spectacular - which is insane to say, because look at it. This is just its lobby!

1/3 #WonderTheater photo madness continues. The United Palace is definitely the most wondrous of those that are open.

On top of the roof is an ornimatation facing out to the street.  It is an arch which holds two statues of bronze:  A dragon and St. George.

4/4 And on the roof of the Loew's Jersey City #WonderTheater was St. George fighting a dragon. Seen from behind, this actually used to move. In the restoration of the theater I bet getting this to move again is not a high priority.
