The Warner Theatre<\/strong><\/p>\r\n

Elkhart, Indiana, Early 1930s.<\/strong><\/p>\r\n

The Lerner Theatre was built in Elkhart in 1924 by Harry E Lerner and was later sold to the Warner family, who changed the name to “The Warner”. The Warner theatre name existed from 1931 to 1933, then was sold. It was named “The ELCO” until 2011, when it was returned to its original name, “The Lerner” and renovated into the venue you now see.<\/p>\r\n

I found a black and white photo of what the Werner looked like in its heyday and recreated it in Acrylic paint on stretched\u00a0canvas to bring back the era of the early 1930s, complete with the trolley.\u00a0The electric car, now on display at the Ruthmere museum is also in the painting.<\/p>\r\n

This painting was finished in September of 2015 and chosen as\u00a0part of the exhibit of\u00a0the “Juried Regional” at the Midwest Museum of American Art, from September until mid-December 2015.<\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n

\r\n

Other Theatres I have painted are: The Palace in South Bend, IN<\/a>; The Reese in Plymouth, IN<\/a>;\u00a0 Fox in Detroit<\/a>, Atlanta\u2019s Fox<\/a>, Fox #2 in Atlanta<\/a>; The Chicago Theatre<\/a>; The Los Angeles Theatre<\/a>; Loew\u2019s Theatre in Jersey City, NJ <\/a>and the Lerner Sign in Elkhart, Indiana<\/a>.<\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n
