Astoria Court mosaic with cinema motif
The mosaic is of an audience watching Clark Gable and
Claudette Colbert in a scene from the film
"It happened one night"
This was one of the big films in the year the Astoria Cinema opened
(Note the absence of a film projector. We all know that
projectionists do not exist until there is a problem with the picture or sound)
