This 1924 ink drawing shows the Folly theater at the corner of East Broadway and Fallsway in Baltimore, a site where the city's east side entertainment district met the rail and warehouse blocks near the harbor. Drawings like this one were prepared for building permits and construction, so they record a theater's planned layout, facade, and proportions rather than how it looked in use. The 1920s were a period when Baltimore, like most American cities, saw many vaudeville houses adapt to feature films, and a drawing from this decade offers a useful look at how those buildings were designed for both live shows and screenings.
