The words on this theatre’s marquee carry the message to us. We learn that this theatre and music hall dates back to 1912 – and the typography speaks of that era as well, creating a time incongruity when displayed to promote the theatre’s web site. The performers headlined on the front of the marquee are very much in our own century. I assume that “Various and Sundry,” as well as “Reckless Kelly” are the names of rock bands. Without all of these words, we would have entirely different image featuring a woman leaving the darkness of a theatre with a blank marquee. With the words, the woman seems overwhelmed by all that is going on just over her head.
