Another thing that confused me about the original photograph was the model. I would never have guessed she was from 1956 (the year the theater was destroyed). I would have guessed a date closer to that late 1970s or early 80s. She sees quite contemporary actually.

e_r, I think you are spot on with your observation on the vignettes as the one directly below the "killer" urn appears to be the mexican actor Cantinflas. I don't recognize the others though.

Cantinflas


I also totally agree with the model appearing quite contemporary. I had thought perhaps late 60's because of her hair style and makeup.
