Description
Vignettes in muted colors relating to major international cities encircle the entire room. Individual performers were added when they became stars, such as Shirley Temple, Will Rogers, Jr., and Janet Gaynor. The mural was done over several years by members of the studio's art department. The studio currently is making plans for a major renovation of the entire lot. The commissary building may be torn down, but the mural supposedly will be saved.
