Original – The entrance to the Pan-Pacific Auditorium as it appeared in the 1970s

Reason

Good photo of the entrance to the Pan-Pacific Auditorium, since destroyed by fire, taken either shortly before or after it closed in the 1970s. I believe this is the best photo we have of it; an earlier photo from the 1950s shows it during its heyday, but I think the angle is too steep to do justice to the facade.

• Comment - I see hairs, dust. Could use some light restoration.  — Chris Woodrich (talk) 21:13, 18 September 2024 (UTC)

  I don't trust my editing skills well enough to attempt a restoration myself, but if someone else is willing, I'd be grateful. Moonreach (talk) 15:07, 19 September 2024 (UTC)

  I did it. Yann (talk) 20:53, 19 September 2024 (UTC)

  Thanks! Moonreach (talk) 14:16, 20 September 2024 (UTC)

• Support – but the right edge has a very narrow dark streak. It can be removed (improved). Moonreach, FYI in the Creator section of nominations, we don't credit uploaders and editors who do crops, level adjustments, minor edits and such. We do credit photographers, which in this case is Marvin Rand, and restorers, in this case User:Yann, and editors who performed major (nontrivial) edits, and associated institution if any and if relevant (like museum, gov. agency, research org., etc.).

  • Agree with Bamm - that looks like a curling of the page. Yann, do you have an uncompressed file? Otherwise I can do a quick fix.  — Chris Woodrich (talk) 20:49, 21 September 2024 (UTC)
    • Fixed. You have a sharp eye. ;o) I had to zoom to 400% to see it. Yann (talk) 13:12, 22 September 2024 (UTC)

  Noted, thanks. Moonreach (talk) 17:05, 23 September 2024 (UTC)
