A 1932 view of the main lobby from house left taken by Mott Studios. It's in the California State Library collection, one of eleven photos in their set #1387322. Thanks to Noirish Los Angeles contributor BifRayRock for digging some of these views out of the archives and including them in his Noirish post #15202.

A view from house right with a bonus peek in at the fire curtain. Thanks to Mike Hume for his 2019 photo. Visit his Historic Theatre Photography site for hundreds of great photos of theatres he's explored. And, of course, there's a lovely page on the Pasadena Civic Auditorium.

The second floor Gold Room, located above the ticket lobby and main lobby. The photo is on a page devoted to chamber music venues in the L.A. area on the site Da Camera. The page also has a nice history of the building by Ann Scheid. The photo is one from the Pasadena Convention and Visitors Bureau.
