The interior was decorated with ivory and gold, with green sidewalls, carpets and draperies. It had a seating capacity of 1936, with box seats and two balconies. It showed movies as the Victory Theatre. About 1942 it was destroyed by fire.

In the north foyer of the Trolley
Corners Theater 1 was a large mural of Star
Wars painted by Don Christensen. Stairs and platforms
gave access to four doors leading to one side of the
auditorium. A similar foyer
on the south side of the theater featured a mural from the Sound
of Music. Someone managed to remove the Star
Wars mural before the theater was gutted.

a mural from the original Star

fighters attacking
the Death Star. C-3PO and R2D2 appear in the right
