In the courtyard you will find these faux movie billboards.
Each of the 8-by-14-foot signs is a twist on movie musical -- Disney style of course. Mickey and Minnie Mouse are the stars of "Down Catalina Way" and Donald and Daisy Duck headline "Moon Over Monrovia." The others feature stage shows with chorus girls and even "Hollywood Pictures Cinetone" newsreels.
They were all designed by Joseph J. Musil of Santa Ana, California. The billboard designs, rich with color and the "greatest" and "glorious" of superlatives, are a throwback to the ads that were typical of the 1920's, '30s and '40s -- the kind Musil grew up loving.
