The forecourt was a public invitation to the passerby, drawing
him in among the furnishings related to the film being screened within.
These props also kept the forecourt lively and ever-changing. Drapery flanked the sidewalk
entry, and giant glazed pots, portable signage, and fanciful light fixtures contributed to the effect.
Exotic plants further carried the theme, in planters massed around the large, tiled fountain of
the forecourt's west wall and sprouting from smaller pots set up on the stepped sidewalls and parapets. |
