Two playhouses share this sheet: the Olympic theater on East 7th Street near Walnut Street and the Empress theater on Vine Street near West 9th Street, both in Cincinnati. Drawn in ink in 1927, it belongs to the Library of Congress's architecture, design and engineering drawings, a collection that preserves how American buildings were planned. The record's subject headings place both houses among the city's theaters and motion picture theaters of the 1920s, when film was rapidly reshaping downtown entertainment districts.
