now moved inside, this former majestic theater marquee continues to deteriorate with peeling paint, bent metal and warped wood. It must have been quite the sight all lit up when the theater was still in use.
YOUR COMMENT IS THE GREATEST "AWARD" YOU COULD GIVE -- No graphics please.

nrhp # 73001537- The Akron Civic Theatre (originally the Loew's Theatre) is a theater in Akron, Ohio. It is one of only five remaining atmospheric theatres designed by John Eberson in the United States and is an excellent example of the great movie palaces of the 1920s. The Akron Civic Theatre is the last remaining theater of 11 opened by Marcus Loew, founder of the Loew's theater chain. The Civic is located on South Main Street in Akron and can seat 3,000 people. The theater has been exhibiting shows and special events for 94 years.
The theater began as a planned project to be known as "The Hippodrome," commissioned by Akron dance hall owner L. Oscar Beck. Beck envisioned a 3,000-seat theater with thirty stores and restaurants lining its arcade. He began construction on the Hippodrome's lobby in 1919, but by 1921, the project was bankrupt. The lobby stood alone, with its theater end boarded-up, for a decade. In 1925 Marcus Loew visited Akron and chose the Hippodrome Theatre site for the creation of a new theater. He purchased the abandoned lobby and nearby land at a Sheriff's auction for $143,000.
The theater was designed by the famous theater architect John Eberson. The auditorium of Akron's Loew's Theatre was designed to resemble a night in an open-air Moorish garden. Twinkling stars and drifting clouds travel across the domed ceiling. Located on Akron's Main Street, the theater's entrance lobby extends over the Ohio and Erie Canal. The theater has a small multi-colored terra cotta façade dominated by a large marquee. The interior of the entrance and lobby is designed to resemble a Moorish castle with Mediterranean decor, complete with medieval style carvings, authentic European antiques, and Italian alabaster sculptures. A grand full-sized Wurlitzer Theatre organ hidden beneath the stage rises to the stage level on a special lift.
Many significant events have occurred over the years for the Civic. In 1964 the Kelly Operating Company leased the theater, only to be bought out soon after by the Akron Jaycees. The Women's Guild purchased and brought live theater back. In 1984 the Civic had a lien placed on them by the IRS because they were $650,000 in debt. The following year Clarence Randall, retired CEO of M. O'Neil Co., was brought in to eliminate the debt. After the renovation in 2002, the Civic celebrated its reopening with comedian Tim Conway. Then in 2004 the Civic celebrated its 75th anniversary.[4]
Akron's Devo played there in 1979, The Pretenders (with Akron's Chrissie Hynde) played there in 2000, The Black Keys played there in 2007, and Warrant (with members from Akron) played there in 2017.

The Mansfield Garden represents the early 20th century New Zealand garden described in Katherine Mansfield’s short story ‘The Garden Party’.
Mansfield was a New Zealand born author recognised internationally as one of the foremost pioneers in modern literature. The Garden Party is one of her best known works. Mansfield completed ‘The Garden Party’ in 1922 but it was apparently inspired by an event that took place in 1907 in a Wellington garden which was then a few years old. So the aim has been to use plants, design detail, food and architecture appropriate to that Edwardian period in New Zealand. While gardens developed at that time were diverse there were certainly common elements like sweeping, looping or circular gravel driveways leading up to the front door. There were often large lawns, and in larger gardens there was generally a lawn tennis court. Ornamental ponds with a fountain were often located in the centre of the entry drive. Roses were always popular and there was a fashion for oriental plants such as: maples, cherries, wisteria, camellia, rhododendrons and bamboo. New Zealand natives were starting to be used, such as the karaka hedge on the far side of the tennis court that’s specifically mentioned in the story. While the central portions of this garden are filled with old fashioned roses and other exotics plants popular at the time, the hills behind are planted in New Zealand plants that may have grown on the Wellington hills. Gardens of this period were often set against clearings in the bush so these hills of native bush have been used to frame this garden.
Architectural details have been selected to match the period like the bench seats and pergola. While there are readily available pictures of the houses the Mansfield family lived in, they weren’t particularly attractive or suited to the orientation and budget of this garden. So a facade design was chosen appropriate to this period that is similar to her parents’ house in Tinakori Road, Wellington.
There are the particular ‘Garden Party’ touches such as: the marquee that workmen have set up against the karaka hedge on the tennis court. They placed the “very small band” in another corner of the court. Laura’s mother is having a meltdown in the upstairs bedroom, the sun is (hopefully) shining and everything is ready for the party to begin.
Ford Model T Car
In the 1900s New Zealand experienced a decade of exciting new inventions. The radio and telephone became mainstream, as did the motor car. Owning a car meant you had “arrived”. The motor car and ‘motoring’ became an addition to the fashion of taking rural outings to enjoy the fresh air. The Edwardian era Ford Model T was chosen for the Mansfield Garden to tie into the story’s Edwardian setting. The construction of the car was a community project facilitated by the Waikato Veteran & Vintage Car Club Inc and the Friends of Hamilton Gardens and convened by Reece Burnett. More than 30 individuals and Waikato companies were involved in providing time, expertise, materials and funding for its construction.
Food Elements
In her story, Mansfield describes the 15 kinds of sandwiches with the crusts cut off and ‘Godber’s famous cream puffs’. While the names of several people she knew in New Zealand were changed before incorporating them into The Garden Party, Mansfield made no effort to disguise the identity of the most successful baker, confectioner and caterer in Wellington at the turn of the 20th century, whose name was James Godber. According to the New Zealand Times, he had “a very fine delivery van…kept to deliver stock to order” and was well known for his “pastry, buns, fancy cakes, scones, cream puffs, girdle scones”. We are told that the Sheridan’s cook had made 15 kinds of sandwich. Only two kinds were specified: cream cheese with lemon curd; egg and olive. Our food was researched by Emeritus Professor Helen Leach (University of Otago) and Hamilton caterer Lizzie Dickson, and constructed from resin and concrete by artist Sacha Lauchlan. Cups and saucers were created by Tuscany Statues.
