doorway to the stars

 

I wish I'd seen the Ector Theatre in its prime with the Art Moderne style highlighted with geometric designs outlined in neon.  The Ector opened in 1951 but closed in 1985.  The City of Odessa purchased the building, did renovations and opened as a tribute theater; however, I found no listings since 2013.   The box office is located on the right side of the entrance doors and has a pattern of aluminum around the base.  The lines in the box office repeat the lines of the fluorescent bulbs.  The stars on the floor bore names of box office stars - even if Doris Day and the others were written with markers.
