The ink drawing shows the building at Broad and Fulton Streets in Newark, New Jersey, under the name Broad Street theater, a later title for the house once known as the Sam S. Shubert theater after the Broadway producer. Architectural drawings like this one typically record a building's plans and elevations, showing how the auditorium and street front were arranged. By 1930, many American cities were converting older playhouses into movie houses, so a drawing of this theater captures a venue in transition between live stage and screen entertainment.
