Built in 1913 as the Morosco Theater (named after theatrical impresario Oliver Morosco), the Globe later took on the names "President Theatre" and "Newsreel Theatre" before being named the Globe. Designed to host full scale theatrical productions, it was built as part of the Garland Building designed by Morgan, Walls & Morgan architects. The interior of the Morosco was designed by Alfred F. Rosenheim

"The color scheme was predominantly a French Grey with highlights in dull gold and green bronze. Panels were filled-in with light green and highlighted in old rose. It was felt the usual figures of mythical gods and muses were outdated, so the Morosco Theater got a dignified Classical design, of particular note the Rubenesque cupids in relief encircling the stage.

Following the example set by the European playhouses given over to the exclusive production of dramas, the Orchestra Pit was to have no orchestra. A “bank of Autumnal leaves” occupied the place where “not always musical music is dispensed by indifferent musicians”. In reality it was an Orchestra Pit mostly full of potted plants."
