Little is known of appearance of the building when it opened in 1929.  However the theatre is believed to be essentially  what it was originally.

Beginning with the facade of the building, Eberson used classical lines in curved segmental pediments over the windows and embellishments of cherubs and shields.  Leading into the entrance hall are six heavy brass doors that open into an elongated hall with a terrazzo floor having a diamond motif and a high ceiling divided by beautifully-carved beams with star of David centers from which hang six chandeleiers.  Artistically mounted on the gold stucco walls are three dimensional plaques depicting equestrian warriors engaged in combat.  Adorning the walls and carrying out the warfare theme are shields, spears and armor.  Most of the decorations were purchase in Europe by Eberson, although some, like the heraldic banners were fashioned by Mrs. John Eberson and son Drew.

Almost to the end of the rectangular hallway is an exit to a ramp that connects the theatre with a parking deck.  Near the far end of the hallway is the part known as the bridge. It contains the indoor box office and gift shop. This section of the building opens into an impressive and spacious room known as the Grand Lobby that stands on concrete "stilts" over the Ohio Canal area.
