The theater was designed by architect Herbert J. Krapp, a prolific theater architect and designer, in what was his first independent commission—Krapp would also work on the Winter Garden Theatre and Ed Sullivan Theater (originally Hammerstein's Theater). The interior design motifs subtly reflect those of the more ornate neighboring Shubert and Booth theaters designed by Henry B. Herts.
