SUMMARY Quarterly Report Each quarter, Glendale Arts reports to the Agency on the operational status of the Alex Theatre. This report (Exhibit 1) addresses the second quaner (October - December) for the fiscal year 2010·11 . During this quarter, Glendale Arts increased its cash account funds by 6.9% and had a net surplus of $219,891 after depreciation expense. Per the Management Agreement, Glendale Arts must maintain a General Reserve account with a cap of $100,000. As of this report, the balance of this account is $100,000, which meets the requirements of the Management Agreement. In addition, Glendale Arts must also maintain a Capital/Maintenance Reserve account to fund capital and maintenance projects for the Theatre and a Programming Reserve account to underwrite any programming losses. As of this report, both accounts have healthy balances of $44,035 and $88,335, respectively. Revised Capital Improvement Projects list The Agency conceptually approved the CIP list in April 2007 and in June 2008, the Agency took a step further and committed to funding the capital improvement projects as part of the current lease with Glendale Arts. The list is periodically reviewed and revised as some projects no longer need to be implemented, cost estimates are adjusted or implementation years/dates are revised . In October 2008 and 2009, the Agency reviewed and approved a revised list. Although the list is revised, the total funds committed as part of the lease remains the same. The current list identifying upcoming projects is attached to this report as Exhibit 2; completed projects have been removed. Parking Lot Expansion Study One of the projects identified in the Capital Improvement List when it was approved as part of the 2008 Lease was the Theatre expansion, presumably into the adjacent parking lot area. This project was never clearly defined nor did it have a projected date for implementation; however, one of the critical components of this project included addressing some of the Theatre's deficiencies, such as additional dressing rooms, a VIP reception room, and office and storage spaces. The $2 Million budgeted for the project was an estimated number when the list was prepared. Staff recommends that this project be moved up on the priority list in light of the proposed development project located to the south and its projected implementation timeline. Staff anticipates retaining the selVices of an architect experienced in historic theatre expansion to provide alternatives to accommodate the Theatre's many needs in anticipation of the new development in the adjacent lot and its potential impact on the theatre's backstage loading dock Alex Theatre Quarterly Report, Revised C1P List, Front Fa<;ade, Forecourt & Parking Lot Expansion Projects March 1, 2011 Page 3 of 8 area. If the development project was not proposed for the site to the south, staff would focus on this parking lot expansion project in fiscal year 2011-12; however, in order ·to maximize the development opportunity on the parcels to the south, it makes sense to address all of the missing operational needs at this time. Staff anticipates bringing this item back to the Agency for a detailed review later on this calendar year. Front Fa~ade Restoration Project The front facade was originally restored in 1992 and after 18 years of exposure to the elements, the facade needs significant repairs. In 2010, Tatyana Thompson, a subcontractor with Randall/McAnany and a Historical Conservator, performed onsite investigation and research , which included an assessment of the original historic painUfinishes and the painted decoration found on the front facade and vestibule of the Theatre . Her findings and recommendations are outlined in the attached report (Exhibit 3). Staff is requesting Agency approval to prepare specifications and bid documents and to solicit bids to restore the front facade as the second phase of this project. Staff would like to complete this project in Spring/Summer 2011 . If the project is not implemented this summer, the report from Ms. Thompson may become outdated and require additional research and analysis to see if the conditions have further deteriorated since her report was prepared. The draft scope of services is included in Exhibit 4. Update on Forecourt Redesign Project In 2009, the Agency approved a contract with Architectural Resources Group (ARG) to improve the overall functionality, aesthetics, and rental flexibility of the forecourt. ARG developed a set of plans and presented them to the HPC in January 2010. Although HPC approved the project, they requested additional information on some of the design features. Since then , Glendale Arts has reevaluated the project in terms of Code restrictions, budget and long-range planning for the Theatre. As a result, the scale of the renovation has been reduced considerably and most of the items that HPC asked to review have been removed. The current proposal, although scaled back, carries the same desjgn and programmatic goals of the previous proposal. Overall, the new design (Exhibit 5) represents a tremendouS improvement over the existing condition. Specifically, the appearance of the concession and storage structures will be greatly enhanced by the new landscaping. The addition of a ·cyprus lounge" will make the area more welcoming . The glass doors will help the Theatre meet its goal of reducing street noise for patrons gathered in the forecourt while also meeting Fire Department egress requirements . The Alex Theatre Committee reviewed the plans and approved them on January 13, 2011 . HPC reviewed and unanimously approved the revised project at its meeting on January 31 , 2011 . As the Agency previously approved the release of specification and bid documents in March 2010, this report provides an update to the Agency on the revised plans and no further Agency action is necessary. FISCAL IMPACT There is no fiscal impact associated with the quarterly report. The Agency committed to funding the capital improvement projects in June 2008, totaling $4,605,450, as part of the current lease with Glendale Arts to operate the Alex Theatre. From 2007 to the present, approximately $800,000 has been spent on 9 projects. The remaining projects are anticipated to be completed by 2015 and are budgeted to fit within the total allotment authorized under the Lease. Alex Theatre Quarterly Report, Revised CIP list, Front Fayade, Forecourt & Parking Lot Expansion Projects March 1, 2011 Page 4 of 8 Staff will request funding for all future projects with the corresponding fiscal year budget process. Funding for the Forecourt and Front Fayade Restoration Projects was previously approved and appropriated by the Agency and is available in the Alex Theatre Account #240701-50273. BACKGROUND Quarterly Repo rt Attached is the second quarter report for FY 2010-11 for the period of (October 1 to December 31, 2010) from Glendale Arts (Exhibit 1). The management agreement with Glendale Arts requires quarterly reports rega rding Alex Theatre operations to the Redevelopment Agency. The Alex Theatre second quarter results are as follows: • An overall increase of 6.9% in cash account funds over the previous year. The decrease in the Capital and Maintenance balance is due to funds having been withdrawn to underwrite the refurbishment of the stage fly system and repair of the marquee ceiling . • Alex Theatre operations ended the second quarter with a net surplus of $219,891 after depreciation expense, which includes income form the management fee paid to the Glendale Arts. This compares with a net surplus of $204,022 for the same time period the previous year. • Although the box office processed fewer tickets , it did generate more revenue in comparison to the same period last year. Per the Management Agreement, Glendale Arts must maintain a General Reserve account with a cap of $100,000. As of this report, the balance of this account is $100,000, which meets the requirements of the Management Agreement. In addition, Glendale Arts must also maintain a Capital/Maintenance Reserve account to fund capital and maintenance projects for the Theatre and a Programming Reserve account to underwrite any programming losses. As of this report, both accounts have healthy balances of $44,035 and $88,335, respectively . Revised Capital Improvement Projects List Since the initial rehabilitation of the Alex Theatre in 1992, there had not been a comprehensive effort to preserve or enhance the building systems and overall condition , therefore the Alex Theatre Building Committee along with City and Agency staff compiled a comprehensive list of long-term maintenance and capital improvements. The Agency conceptually approved the CIP list in April 2007 and directed staff to include the projects in the annual Agency budget process. In June 2008, the Agency took a step further and committed to funding the capital improvement projects as part of the current lease with Glendale Arts for the operations of the Theatre and asked staff to bring each project to the Agency prior to implementation. The list is periodically reviewed and revised as some projects no longer need to be implemented, cost estimates are adjusted or implementation years/dates are revised. In October 2008 & 2009, the Agency reviewed and approved a revised list. Although the list is revised , the total funds committed as part of the lease remains the same. The following is an update on completed projects: Alex Theatre Quarterly Report, Revised CIP list, Front Fayade, Forecourt & Parking Lot Expansion Projects March 1, 2011 Page 5 of 8 • • • • • • • • • Emergency Waterproofing Repairs - completed in 2007 & 2008; Orchestra Shell Upgrade - completed in 2007 & 2009; Sound System Upgrade - Phases I, II & 111- completed in 2007 & 2010; Purchase and Installation of Lighting Control Console - completed in 2008; Purchase and Installation of Capstan Winch for rigging - completed in 2008; Purchase and Installation of automatic restroom plumbing fixtures - completed in 2008; Painting of North, East, South sides - completed in 2009; Refurbishment of approximately 1,500 Theatre Seats ~ completed in 2010; and Front Fac;:ade Restoration - (Phase I - research and investigation) - completed in 2010 The current list identifying upcoming projects is attached to this report as Exhibit 2; completed projects have been removed. Parking Lot Expansion Study One of the projects identified in the Capital Improvement List when it was approved as part of the 2008 Lease was the Theatre expansion , presumably into the adjacent parking lot area. This project was never clearly defined nor did it have a projected date for implementation; however, one of the critical components of this project included addressing some of the Theatre's long~term operational deficiencies, such as; • • • • • • Expansion of backstage , office and additional meeting space; Addition of dressing rooms , storage and shop space ; A new freight elevator to access street and subterranean levels; VIP reception area; Multi~purpose office space; and A new passenger elevator with access to all levels The proposed improvements will help enhance Theatre marketability and future financial viability as they will allow the Theatre to attract new performers and shows with specific needs, such as additional dressing room and VIP reception space. Furthermore, these improvements were also intended to begin to address some of the ADA issues with the historical building in anticipation of the expiration of the project area in 2015 and the termination of the annual management and CIP funds. The $2 Million budgeted for the project was an estimated number when the list was prepared. Staff recommends that this project be moved up on the priority list in light of the proposed development project located to the south of the Theatre and its projected implementation timeline. Staff anticipates retaining the services of an architect experienced in historic theatre expansion to provide alternatives to accommodate the Theatre's many needs in anticipation of the new development in the adjacent lot and its potential impact on the theatre's backstage loading dock area. If the development project was not proposed for the site to the south , staff would focus on this parking lot expansion project in fiscal year 2011~ 12, however, in order to maximize the development opportunity on the parcels to the south , it makes sense to address all of the missing operational needs at this time. Staff anticipates bringing this item back to the Agency for a detailed review later on this calendar year. Alex Theatre Quarterty Report, Revised CIP List, Front Facade, Forecourt & Parking Lot Expansion Projects March 1, 2011 Page 6 of8 Front Fat;ade Restoration Project As part of the long term capital improvement projects list, the north, south and east sides of the Theatre were painted in 2009; however, the front fagade was separated from the scope of work as it required an intricate method to restore. The front fagade was originally restored in 1992 as part of the original restoration of the Theatre ; however after 18 years of exposure to the elements, the fagade needs significant repairs . The front fat;:ade restoration project was proposed to be completed in two phases: 1} investigative/research phase and 2} painting/ restoration phase. In August 2009, the Agency approved a sole source contract with Randall/McAnany for the first phase. Over the past two decades, Tatyana Thompson (a subcontractor with Randall/McAnany) has provided investigative services for several restoration projects at the Theatre. As part of the first phase, Ms. Thompson, a Historical Conservator, performed the field investigation and research . Her onsite investigation and field research was completed in November 2009. The report (Exhibit 3) was prepared in April 2010 and included an assessment of the original historic paint/finishes and the painted decoration found on the front fagade and vestibule of the Theatre. The recommendations in the report are based on the following: • • • • • Onsite examination of the front fat;:ade and vestibule areas; Examination of original sculptural elements (no longer present); Examination of historic photographs; Research of archival material, including copies of original construction drawings; and Examination with a stereoscopic microscope of a representative sampling of paint gathered from the front fagade and vestibule areas. Staff is requesting Agency approval to prepare specifications and bid documents and to solicit bids to restore the front fat;:ade as the second phase of this project. Staff would like to complete this project in Spring/Summer 2011 . If the project is not implemented this summer, the report from Ms. Thompson may become outdated and require additional research and analysis to see if the conditions have further deteriorated since her report was prepared. The draft scope of services is included in Exhibit 4. The original estimate for the Front Fat;:ade project in 2009 was $90,000, which included exterior painting on the east fa gade, vestibule and courtyard and the services of the historical conservator. Since then, the mural, lion heads and sunburst have deteriorated due to weather and exterior elements requiring their restoration; they have been added to the Scope of Work. The current estimate is approximately $160,000 to include the exterior painting on the east fagade , vestibule and courtyard, restoration of the mural, frieze and lion heads at parapet, and sunburst. In order to accommodate for the increased cost, changes were made to the planned Theatre carpet replacement project in 2014. The carpet replacement cost of $220,000 has·been reduced to $100,000 and will involve replacing the carpet in heavy traffic areas where it is showing the most wear as opposed to replaCing the entire carpet. The funds that are saved will be used towards the additional cost of the restoration effort. Alex Theatre Quarterty Report, Revised CIP List, Front Fayade, Forecourt & Parking Lot Expansion Projects March 1, 2011 Page 7 ot8 Update on Forecourt Redesign Project In February 2009, the Agency authorized staff to proceed with the Forecourt Redesign Project in order to re-evaluate the current forecourt design and improve the overall functionality, aesthetics, and rental flexibility of the space as a reception and small performance area. In June 2009, the Agency selected Architectural Resources Group (ARG), who worked closely with Agency/City staff and the Alex Theatre Committee on the design. As the Alex Theatre is a designated historic resource, the design approval authority is with the Historic Preservation Commission (HPC). In January 2010, HPC reviewed ARG's proposal for the renovation of the forecourt. HPC unanimously approved the proposed design and requested further design details for the paving pattern, sunshade device, new space heaters and additional lighting. Since then, Glendale Arts has reevaluated the project in terms of Building and Fire Code restrictions , budget and long-range planning for the Theatre. As a result, the scale of the renovation has been reduced considerably and most of the items that HPC asked to review have been removed from the project. The current proposal is new to the Agency, though many of the design and programmatic goals of the previous proposal remain the same. The revised plans are attached as Exhibit 5; the scope of work includes the following: • • • • • • • • • • • • • Remove existing vines, trellis, palm trees , and metal site furniture ; Remove existing entry gates below marquee and replace with new frameless glass door system; Remove outer sections of existing concrete slab paving; Install new colored concrete slab paving; Stain existing remaining sections of concrete paving; Add new planters, seat walls and irrigation between obelisks and theater on the north and south walls; Add new concrete ·cypress lounge- seating with urns and cypress plants; Add new vine planters and irrigation on north and south concession/storage walls; Infill existing window at concessions/storage on north wall; lnfill one bay of storage room door openings for single doors; Add new cocktail counters on north and south concession/storage walls; Add new up-lighting , forecourt area lighting and cypress lounge lighting; and Paint entire north and south outer concrete walls and box office/electrical/concession/ storage walls. Overall, the new design represents a tremendous improvement over the existing condition. Specifically, the appearance of the concession and storage structures will be greatly enhanced by the new landscaping, which will cover them with small-leafed vines. An existing opening at the north structure will be filled in, providing the location for a future donor wall. Small counters will project from the sides of the structures to provide table space for patrons. The glass doors will help the Theatre meet its goal of reducing street noise for patrons gathering in the forecourt while also meeting Fire Department egress requirements. The proposed door system is practically frame less, providing the highest level of transparency possible. It's important to note that the doors can be removed in the future without affecting the property's historic charact~r . Alex Theatre Quarterly Report, Revised CIP List, Front Fayade, Forecourt & Parking Lot Expansion Projects March 1, 2011 Page 8 of 8 On January 13, 2011 , the Alex Theatre Committee reviewed and approved the plans. As the designated review authority for historic buildings, HPC reviewed and unanimously approved the revised project at its meeting on January 31 , 2011 . Prior to HPC review , the Agency received a bi-monthly report on January 5, 2011 with the revised project scope and associated design plans. As the Agency previously approved the release of specification and bid documents in March 2010, this report provides an update to the Agency on the revised plans and no further Agency action is necessary.

Broadway, Room 201 Glendole, CA 9 1206 RE: Alex Theatre Quarterly Report - Second Quarter of Fisca l Year 2010-1 1 Dear Mayor Najarian and Agency Choir Friedman: The Glendale Arts Boord of Directors is pleased to presenl this report to the Glendale Redevelopment Agency (GRA) outlining the Alex Theatre's stote of operations and financial affairs for the second quarter of fiscal year 2010-11. As you review the attached financial statements you will note the following: • Alex Theatre Cas h Accounts ~ An overall increase of 6.9% in cosh account funds over the previous year. The decrease in the Capital and Maintenance balance is due to funds having been withdrawn to underwrite the refurbishment of the stage fly system and repair of the marquee ceiling. Additional monies were drawn from the GRA Management Fee account to cover costs associated with a grant for which payment is sti ll outstanding. This money will be returned to the Management Fee account when the grant funds are received. • Second Quarter Statement of Activities ~ The second quarter of operations ended with 0 loss of $59,986 after depreciation expense compared to a loss of $40,286 the previous fiscal year. This was due 10 a reduction in event activities in November as a result of several event cancellations during the month. • Year-to-oate Statement of Activities ~ Alex Theatre operations ended the second quarter with a net surplus of $219,891 after depreciation expense, which includes income from the management fee paid to Glendale Arts. This compares with a net surplus of $204,022 for the same time period the previous year. Although we lost some financial ground during the second quarter due to the poor November results, aHendance, total days of event activities, and total net rental revenues continue to run ahead of last year. As of the preparation of this report, we are now at 98% of meeting our budget goal of $650,000 in net rental revenues based upon confirmed engagements and bookings for which contracts hove already been issued. Alex Theatre Quarterly Report- Fiscal Year 20 10·71 Second Quarter Page 2 In October, the Glendale Arts Board of Directors and senior members of the stoff participated in a planning retreat to discuss ways to address the pending loss of funding from the Redevelopment Agency in 2015. Out of that retreat come two distinct strategies that were adopted by the Boord. The first strategy is to continue to improve upon our current operations by controlling costs such as reducing energy consumption and increasing income streams such as rental income and box office service fees. The second tactiC" is to toke on the management of additional performance facilities, which will a llow us to spread our overhead expenses over a greater range of activities resulting in a cost savings to the Alex Theatre through economy of scale. The Glendale Arts Boord believes that by aggressively fo llowing these strategies we have a chance to realistically achieve self.sufficiency by the 2015 deadline. On behalf of the members of the Glendale Arts Boord and staff, and the thousands of patrons whose lives are enriched by offending performances at the Alex Theatre, thank you for your continued support of our efforts and activities.

The areas investigated on the East Fa~ade include the stucco walls at the East elevation, the painted decoration (gray band, floral graphics and circle emblem), the four medallions, and the bas-relief muraJ. The areas investigated in the Vestibule include the stucco walls, small windows, columns and the low stucco walls and decorative shells at ticket windows. The East Fac;ade and Vestibule have sustained many interventions over the years and have been repainted numerous times. The current painted decoration is a recreation of the original design and was executed during a large-scale restoration/ rehabilitation in 1993 (see Historic Photograph 1993). The purpose of this investigation is to detennine historic color and design and provide recommendations for paint colors, design scheme, and colors for painted decoration and a treabnent plan for the bas-relief mural. The conclusions in this report are based on: 1) onsite examination of the aforementioned. locations, 2) examination of original sculptural elements that are no longer present on the fac;ade (lion's head relief and a remnant of the floral frieze), 3) examination of historic photographs (see attached photos for examples), 4) research of archival material including copies of the original construction drawings by Alex Theater architects, Lindley Selkirk, and 5) examination with a stereoscopic microscope of a representative sampling of paint gathered from the aforementioned locations. P A INTIN G CONSERVAT I ON I Alex Thealre Historic CDlor/Finishes Report March 20/0 Please note that the color recommendations, design and site are not meant as replication "draw-downs", but rather an expression of the pre-existing design. Please be aware that while every effort has been made to create the design and colors that will best achieve the desired result, adjusbnents may be necessary when the colors are scaled up to actual size. It is recommended that scaled up samples be produced before proceeding with the project. EAST FA<;:ADE Medallions There are four medallions situated on the east fatjade. Two medallions flank the upper left and right comers of the bas-relief mural. The two other medallions overlay the painted floral decorative border and are located directly above the two columns. The medallions are constructed of cast iron and appear to be painted. The paint strata are minimal indicating that the medallions were not repainted as often as other elements of the theatre fa~ade, The topcoat paint layer is reddish brown with some intenruttent gilding apparent. followed below by a red primer layer. Below the primer layer there is some evidence of pinkish copper gilding directly on the cast iron. There is some rusting present intermittently (see Medallion photo page). Original construction drawings indicate that the medaUions were designated as "Cast Iron Bronze Plated" (see construction drawing), The pinkish copper gildjng fOWld during excavation was probably a finish on the metal and may have formerly been darker in appearance. Examination of the one remaining cast plaster lion's head, an element of the missing sculptural frieze that originally lined the upper edge of the fa~ade, revealed a similar finish. Also the two cauldrons on the top of the theatre have a similar appearance (could not be examined closely due to access constraints). Historic photographs (see Historic Photographs 1925) show these three elements (medallions, sculptural frieze, cauldrons) having a similar unified appearance of metal ornamentation. Recommended Treatment Consultation with an objects conservator is recommended regarding the appropriate treatment involving the removal of overpaint, treatment of rust and appropriate final appearance of the finish. 2 -----Alex Theatre His/oric Color/Fin;.~hes Report March20JO Trompe l'Oeil Bas-relief Mural The mural is a two-dimensional replication of a "Greco-Egyptian" bas-relief. It is painted on fabric that has been marouflaged to the concrete wall of a recessed niche on the upper east facade. The entire mural was repainted at the time of the restoration iill993. Historic photographs suggest that it may have been painted out or removed during a remodel in the 19405 (see Alex Theatre Photographs 1948). The overall adhesion of the fabric to the wall appears very good and it was strongly attached where examined. The paint is extremely friable when subjected to mechanical action. There are two significant cracks, 50" and 32", with associated flaking paint (see Bas-relief photo page 1). Other smaller cracks are apparent but appear stable (see Bas-relief photo page 1). Bird droppings are present intermittently overall and there are scattered small losses (see Bas-relief photo page 1). A 2" in diameter void filled with discolored caulk is visible (see Bas-relief photo page 1). There is an overall layer of surface dirt present as well as whitish chalky deposits that are particularly apparent on the background pinkish-orange color (see Bas-relief photo page 2). Some small areas of dark discoloration are scattered intermittently (see Bas-relief photo page 2). Where tested the paint layer is soluble in both aqueous and solvent systems. Drying cleaning systems removed some superficial surface dirt and reduced the whitish chalky deposits resulting in a somewhat brighter appearance. The flaking paint requires consolidation and the voids require filling. The areas of dark discoloration could be improved with inpainting. Recommended Treatment See Treabnent Plan on Page 9. 3 Alex Theatre Historic Color/Finishes Report March 2010 Exterior Stucco Walls The exterior walls are textured stucco designed to imi tate Egyptian sandstone block construction. Historic black. and white photographs demonstrate that originally the individual blocks had tonal variations, giving the appearance of natural stone (see Historic Photograph from 1925). Numerous subsequent repaintings appear to have been done in single uniform colors that were variations of the original tonal palette. Excavated paint samples from several locations on the exterior stucco walls of the east fac;ade indicate that the original wall color was integral color stucco in muted warm yellow ochre from "Dakota Land" (ICl #20YY 70/138) to "Tuscan Tan" (ICl #20YY 53/238) to "Just Peachy" (leI #20YY 67/216) and was designed to imitate Egyptian sandstone bJock construction (see Exterior Stucco Wall photo page). Several locations were found that corroborate the identification of the original wall color: • There is a thin strip of exposed wall below the bas-relief mural that could possibly be original paint layer (see exterior stucco wall photo page). Because this color continues behind the mural, it can be assumed that it was applied prior to the attachment of the mural. There is also a lack of any overpaint along the bottom edge of the mural indicating that repainting was not done in this area (probably due to the fact that is not visible from the ground). • In the vestibule above the entrance doors, the ornate horizontal molding is painted with this same ochre color as a background with a gilded finish on the raised decoration (see exterior stucco wall photo page). • In an adjacent area, excavation reveals the same color as at the base of the paint strata (see Exterior Stucco Wall photo page). The paint colors in the above locations are all very similar, and in each case, are unlike both the existing wall color and the colors found in the excavated paint strata. Recommended Treatment It is recommended that the exterior stucco walls be painted it muted warm yellow ochre, exemplified by "Chamois" (Pratt & Lambert 9-25) which will unify the exterior wall color of the theatre overall. 4 Alex Theatre Historic ColorlFinishes Report March20JO Painted Decoration The current painted decoration on the east fac;ade is a recreation completed during the restoration of the theatre in 1993. The outer decorative border consists of repeating ochre circles on a terracotta band and follows the outer perimeter of the fac;ade. The inner decorative consists of a solid gray band flanked by a repeating floral or leaf pattern in alternating light blue and ochre. This decoration borders the vestibule opening. Two medalHons overlay the irmer band, directly above the mo large columns (see Painted Decoration photo page), Investigation of the paint strata in these locations revealed that little or none of the original design layer still exists. Early archival photograph indicates that the stenciled design had sustained damage and degradation as early as 1930 (see Historic Photo 1930). It is possible that at some point the fa~ade was sandblasted in preparation for repainting. Fragments of paint in a variety of colors were found in the intervening paint layers (see Painted Decoration photo page). Some of these colors do not correspond with the overall color palette of the theatre. They most probably represent prior repainting of the decoration. Yellowish green and dark terracotta colors were found on the columns in the vestibule and at the comers of facade. These colors may relate to the terrazzo floor colors in the vestibule. The original historic photographs establish that the existing painted decoration is a stenciled recreation that mostly replicates the original construction drawings design. However, in the original design the stenciled fonns appear to have more volume than the present decoration (see Comparison of Painted Decoration page). The present color palette appears to be drawn from the general palette of the theatre's other areas of painted decoration and is much lighter than the appearance in the historic photographs (see Painted Decoration photo page). Also, it is clear in the historic photographs that there was a greater value difference bemeen the repeating floral or leaf fOffils.. with the darker fonns matching the value of the solid band and the metal finish elements such as the medallions and the sculptural frieze (see Historic Photo 1925), The lighter forms appear intermittenliy brighter indicating that they may have been metallic and! or reflective. ReCOmmended Treatment A new design scheme that more closely replicates the original design has been attached. This design is based on investigation of archival photographs and construction documents. Due to the lack of original paint material, color recommendations are based on archival photographs and investigation of the original historic color palette. Two different variations have been provided for consideration. 5 ---------------------------------------------Alex Theatre Historic Color/Finishes Report March 2010 VESTIBULE Stucco Walls The wall paint strata reveals numerous paint layers in variations of muted yellow ochre. There is also evidence that the vestibule was painted green at one time, probably to match the terrazzo floor color. The original wall finish was textured integral color stucco in tonal variations of light warm ochre from "Dakota Land" (leI #20YY 70/138) to "Tuscan Tan" (10 #20YY 53/238) to "Just Peachy" (10 #20YY 67/216) and was designed to imitate Egyptian sandstone block construction. An example was found in an area behind electrical conduit that did not receive as much repainting (see Vestibule photo page), The painted. decoration on the stucco walls above the ticket booths does not appear to be original. The paint appears to be latex. The design and color palette relate to the painted decoration on the east fa~ade, indicating that it was completed as part of the same 1993 restoration (see Vestibule photo page). Recommended Treabnent It is recommended that the exterior stucco walls in the vestibule be painted a muted warm yellow ochre, exemplified by "Chamois" (Pratt & Lambert 9-25) which will unify the exterior wall color of the theatre overall. Small Windows The small windows above the entrance doors are comprised of a wood casing with an x-shaped design element secured to the casing in front of the glazing (see Small Window 1 photo page). A large gilded "sunbursf' sculptural ornamentation overlays the small windows. The paint strata on the windows are as follows: current topcoat is faded purple brown, followed by smoky blue, finally honey wood (see Small Window 1 photo page). Excavation and examination of paint samples indicate the original finish was an imitation bronze metal, similar to color on a molding above (see Small Window 2 photo page). The bronze metallic finish was also found on the reverse side of the "X" elements as viewed through the glass from the theatre lobby (see Small Window 2 photo page), There was no evidence of the smoky blue or brown on the reverse of the "X" elements, only at the edges, which could be a result of paint seeping between the wood and glass during repainting (see Small Window 2 photo page). 6 Alex Theatre Historic ColorlFinjsh~s Report March 2010 Recommended Treatment The small windows should be painted to match the coppery color of the straight elements in the sunburst sculptural decoration exemplified by Modem Masters "Antique Copper" #ME2OS. Columns Investigation of the paint strata in the columns revealed that little or none of the original color still exists. It is possible that at some point the columns were sandblasted/ stripped in preparation for repainting. Recommended Treatment It is recommended that the colunms in the vestibule be painted a muted warm yellow ochre, exemplified by "Chamois" (Pratt & Lambert 9-25) which will unify the exterior wall color of the theatre overall. Ticket Booth Low Stucco Walls The stucco walls of the ticket booths appear to be relatively new as evidenced by the texture difference from the other stucco walls of the theatre. Also the stucco does not have the same volume of paint strata as the other stucco walls both in the Vestibule and the East Facade. These walls may have been re-stuccoed at some point in the past. The existing topcoat is the same color as other walls in the vestibule (see Ticket Booth photo page). Recommended Treatment It is recommended that the low stucco walls in the vestibule be painted a muted warm yellow ochre, exemplified by "Chamois" (Pratt & Lambert 9-25) which will unify the exterior wall color of the theab.'e overall. 7 Alex Theatre Historic Color/Finishes Report March 2010 Decorative Shells There is a border of eight cast plaster fleur-de-lys (decorative shells) along the roolline of the ticket booth (see ticket booth photo page). They are painted to imitate a gilded finish with a pinkish ochre background (see ticket booth photo page). It is possible that they have been over-plastered as evidenced by the freshness of the materials and the nature of their construction (see ticket booth photo page). The unpainted plaster reverse appears overly white for its supposed age (see ticket booth photo page). It is possible that these sculptural elements were partially replastered and overpainted at the periphery during a previous restoration of the vestibule area that included the painted decoration on the stucco walls above the ticket booths. Recommended Treatment The shells should be vacuumed to remove surface dirt. It is recommended that the pinkish-ochre background around the shells be painted a muted wann yellow ochre, exemplified by "Chamois" (Pratt & Lambert 9-25) which will unify the exterior wall color of the theatre overall. 8 ---------------------_. -.~ Alex Theatre Historic Color/Finishes Report March 2010 TREATMENT PLAN FOR BAS-RELIEF MURAL • Arrange for scaffolding. • Arrange for delivery of supplies and equipment necessary for treatment. • Examine mural to verify condition. • Photograph mural to document the condition before treatment. • Remove surface dirt, accretions and whitish chalky deposits as possible using dry cleaning systems. • Consolidate flaking paint along the large cracks with appropriate adhesive. • Fill and texture paint losses with plaster filling compound. • Inpaint paint losses and darker discolorations with appropriate reversible paint • Photograph the mural to document the condition after treabnent. • Prepare final treatment report and documentation. • Arrange for dismantling of scaffolding. • Arrange for pick up of remaining supplies. Cost estimate: $25,000 (cost of scaffolding not included) Estimate is based on the following: An area will be provided nearby for storage of supplies and equipment. Electrical power will be accessible. The general work area will be blocked off so as not to have any disturbances and interference from the public. Treabnent of the mural is recommended but not urgent. 9 Alex Theatre Historic Color/Finishes Report March20JO Decorative Sculptural Frieze As evidenced by historical photographs, a decorative sculptural frieze was evident at the top of the east fa~ade when the Theatre opened (see Historic Photograph 1925). The decorative elements alternated between vegetal "fleur-delis" faons and four lions heads. The decorative elements were constructed of plaster and metal armature and were generally painted dark brown with gilding embellishment. Photos of the Alex Theatre show that these decorative elements had been removed during the renovation in 1948 (see Alex Theatre 1948 photograph). As part of the 1993 renovation these elements were partially replicated. (anecdotal evidence) and returned to their original positions (see Alex Fa~ade 1993 photograph). At present many of these elements have disappeared. Recommended Treannent It is recommended that the entire decorative sculptural frieze be recreated and reinstalled at the top of the east fa~ade. The elements should be replicated using existing original components as examples for the form and color. If no original elements are available, they should be replicated using historic photographs as a guideline. 10 ALEX THEATRE IN RECENT YEARS After the 1993 restoration Alex Theatre today MEDALLIONS Detail of medallion plnloislo copper glleR"" Paint strata -. .c .' ~ :; CONSTRUCTioN DRAWING • ji'> tON ZL, i'U ':::D', T. , ", \ 1\ " .~ L- r1,;, .. .
