The Beacon Theatre had been designed as a miniature version of the earlier Roxy Theatre in Midtown Manhattan, which Ahlschlager also designed. [4] [5] [8] Whereas the Roxy Theatre had been designed with Moorish and Renaissance-inspired elements, the Beacon contains a variety of styles, including Renaissance, Ancient Roman, Ancient Greek, and Rococo-inspired elements. [4] [5] Danish artist Valdemar Kjoldgaard designed numerous murals for the Beacon as well. [9] [10] When the theater opened, Women's Wear Daily described Kjoldgaard's murals as being "themselves worth a king's ransom". [11] A reporter described the theater in general as "a true bit of Bagdad on Broadway", [12] [13] while another critic called the theater's interior "like walking into an Arab sheik's tent".
