Reverse Text: "Hearst San Simeon State Historical Monument. San Simeon, California, on scenic coast Highway 1 between Monterey and San Luis Obispo. The Theater. Gilded plaster caryatids and damask-lined walls lend an air of whimsy and elegance to the Theater. Fourteen huge humanoid female figures are seemingly pinned to the walls. While staring straight ahead in vacuous manner, their faces are aglow from the electric light bulbs held in their outstretched hands. Hearst showed first-run movies here, many with his favorite movie star Shirley Temple."Publisher: ARA Leisure Services, San Simeon Size: Modern Not sent. |
