Here is a b&w copy of a 1986 color painting by Davis Cone, as discussed above, from “Popcorn Palaces”:

His work is truly amazing. One day i will scrape together enough cash to actually purchase one for my very own! In the meantime, i cherish my copy of the Wilhelm/Kinerk book as well as the previous Cone book.

The Colonia is a treat, definitely worth the detour if you find yourself in the proximity, even with the sad twinning. The exterior is certainly a photo op for a any theater buff.

Estott,
Columbus wasn’t born in “Colon” Italy. There is no such place. He was born in Genoa (Genova).

Mr. Deluca you are entirely correct- either I misremembered the article of it was in error. Still, Columbus is the subject- he is supposed to have adopted the surname “Colon” during his years in Spain, and to have associated himself with the ancient admiral Colonius.

My point is basically to state that it was never at any time the “Colonial”
