This magnificient room contains a high vaulted ceiling decorated with an exquisite design using the hexagon figure in three dimension, recessed to give depth.  The hexagons are divided by diamonds, continuing the theme begun in the Outer lobby.

Above the dark wooden doors with diamond-shaped windows is the fresco painitng of Coronado, the Spanish Conquistador, who explored the Southwestern United States in search of the Seven Cities of Cibolo to find gold and riches.  The painting was rendered by Mrs. William Hartman of the Michaelangelo Studios, probably to carry out the Morish theme in the general plan.

Surrounding the painting of Coronado is an arabesque mounting of foliate scrolls and swirls, topped by what architects refer to as "broken pediment," meaning the sides of the pediment do not form an apex, but are "broken" by space.  Within this space is an oval design, similar to a crest.  Framing the entire area is a classical arch with a leaf motif and vertical panels of hexagons and circles in an alternating repetitive design.

Standing beside the Coronado rendition are two ornate columns with shafts made with a swirling design complete with a twining leaf pattern leading to a variation of Corinthian capitals.  Similar columns grace the sides of the Grand Lobby and are repeated in the interior of the auditorium. 

On either side of the entrance are niches with plaster reproductions of two famous statues found in the Louvre in Paris,
