![A graphite drawing on white tracing paper, for multiple iterations, of a three-quarter view of an interior of a theater. A built installation shows the multiple stepped stage on the left having a gently curved outer platform in the center that juts out into an extreme curve on the right supporting an elliptical glass enclosed booth bearing a flat roof with two people inside. The above architecture reflects the round curves of the booth with built in designs on two levels where the drawing employs value shading to show the illusion of volume, depth and realism with high open space between the ceiling and said design. The adjacent wall displays a sketch of a large, high archway and the beginning of another to the right with less detail. The round curved built-in design meets an intersecting low wall with rounded left edge overlapping the right stage edge and is articulated with [CBS] letters atop and a [C] on the wall with outstretched arms inclusive of [ON THE AIR] in the top arm, and [STAND BY] in the bottom arm with a round clock in the inner curvature of the [C]. Returning to the inner stage, we are met with a built-in back wall that curves inward on the top and meets with a dropped ceiling consisting of several planks parallel to the ceiling with spaces in between. A rectangular built awning placed on an upward slant is placed outward from the planks. One can speculate as to the function of this configuration. Writing is apparent on the lower left of the image: [#398 sign 30] in a circle [37] with two words beneath that are illegible. The drawing has a small rip on the lower left edge and possible tape damage on the bottom right. [3-55-9874] is written in the lower left corner.](https://images.collection.cooperhewitt.org/57284_9bdda8553b939de0_n.jpg "Drawing, Design for Alteration of the Avon Theater")
