Art Deco Entry - Purple Rabbit

 Hiya gang!  It’s me, Purple Rabbit! I’m out exploring town today — soaking in the sights and sniffing out adventure. As you probably know, I started life as a humble dog toy (a very squeaky one, thank you very much), but I’ve got bigger dreams now! I want to be a proper travelling stuffy, just like my pals Little Fox, Sandy, Jerry, and Ben et. al. They’ve seen the world, and I’m ready to hop right alongside them on all sorts of adventures!

I’m out walking about this evening, and wow — the ferry looks absolutely amazing all lit up against the water. The lights shimmer like stars on the waves! I told the roommate we should hop on for a quick ride, but of course he said it’s too late and we’d miss dinner.  What he don’t seem to realize is that there are restaurants for humans and stuffys on both sides of the ferry terminal! I’m sure I could find a cozy spot with carrot cake or maybe a mug of hot cocoa just my size. Honestly, sometimes you have to be the one with imagination in this partnership.

 On my way home, I came across this wonderful old theater — the Edmonds Theater. Its glowing marquee caught my eye from down the street, all classic lines and gentle curves, pure Art Deco magic!

Did you know this place first flickered to life in 1923? That’s just a few hops after Hollywood itself started shining bright. Back then, it was called the Princess Theatre, and not only did it show movies — it hosted vaudeville shows! There’s still a 35-by-20-foot stage tucked right behind the screen, hidden away like a secret from another time.

So, about that theater I mentioned — the Edmonds Theater? Well… frankly, I don’t really see the Art Deco style everyone talks about.

Don’t get me wrong — it’s charming, with that old-timey marquee and cozy small-town glow, but it feels more like classic 1930s Main Street than sleek Deco elegance. I was expecting bold geometric patterns, chrome accents, maybe a few zigzags or sunbursts — you know, that whole “Gatsby meets the movies” vibe!

Still, it’s got heart. The kind of place where popcorn smells better, tickets are real paper, and the screen seems to hum with history. Maybe not Art Deco, but definitely authentic. Sometimes, even if a place isn’t what you expect, it’s still worth a pause and a quiet little “wow.” 🎞️🐰✨

Now if I can get into the lobby....maybe that's where the art deco magic happens.....sadly the lobby was closed but I did find this picture online.  Kind of art deco-ish.  What do you think?
