Warner Bros. commissioned this 2,250-seat movie palace in 1931, and Rapp & Rapp gave it French Renaissance details that still startle: Persian marble archways, gold-backed mirrors, silver-leaf gilding under ruby curtains. It stopped showing films in 1976 but never closed, and in 2021 its 10-ton, 8,000-bulb marquee was relit for the first time in over 40 years — the same marquee that now advertises Broadway tours and the Erie Philharmonic most weeks of the year.
