The main lobby, which depicts a favorite element of Art Deco decorators, the sign of the zodiac, and all other interiors are decorated in modern lines of the strictest Art Deco. The theater has preserved to this day all of its original details, including the furniture.

Opened on 29th March 1941, the architects were Fernando Martinez Campos and Pascual de Rojas. It is built within the Art déco "Edificio Rodriguez Vazquez" which is an 11 storey high building, containing ground floor businesses, 64 apartments and includes another pre-existing theatres. The Casa de la Musica is located next door. It is incredible beautiful inside, and we were lucky to find a way in. It was a movie theatre earlier, but is now used as a live performance theater. It has 1775 seats and is a smaller version of the Radio City Music Hall in New York.

Casa Suárez - the dog is not amused

Art déco appartment house "Casa Suárez" was built in 1934 (La Habana - Cuba).
As everywhere in the world, there are also idiots in Cuba. This special one ordered his combat dog to stay stewing in the full midday heat, sweating to the full exhaustion. Some kind of perverted training.
Fargo

Old Fargo truck (1940s).
Fargo is a make of Chrysler, which has been used for trucks. Fargo trucks were very similar to Dodge trucks. Of course the name reminds me immediately of the famous Coen brother's movie "Fargo".
