…and the same curtain in its original setting, the Fox Theatre in San Francisco, opened in 1929 and demolished in 1963 (photo from the book, “Fox: the Last Word,” by Preston J. Kaufman).
a black and white photo of the same curtain with fancy scrolls but much more pattern showing at the top, as the screen it’s in front of here is taller than in the previous photo. The curtain hangs above a stage with a row of empty chairs for the orchestra, and a Wurlitzer organ at the center.

a fancy fabric curtain covered with decorative scroll shapes hanging in front of a movie screen, with an organist at the Mighty Wurlitzer in the orchestra pit below it.

State supreme court elections have a big impact.
A simple graphic with text that reads, "April 1, 2025: Vote, Wisconsin, for Judge Susan Crawford and reproductive rights," in fat, jolly lettering.
