This ink drawing shows the New Shubert theater on Tremont Street, across from Hollis Street in Boston, as its designers planned it in 1929. Architectural and engineering drawings like this one record the building's plans, and they are useful for understanding how a theater was laid out for both stage productions and films. Boston's Tremont Street was a center of the city's theater district in the 1920s, when many houses were adding projection equipment and screens as motion pictures grew more popular. Because the drawing is a technical record rather than a view of the finished building, it shows the working decisions behind the theater's seating, stage, and entrances.
