A 1931 cinema on West Superior Street in Duluth—closed but still useful as a way to describe the world. Turn left at the Meridian.

Opened with a ceiling painted midnight blue and stars arranged by a man from

St. Paul who reused the same pattern in six other theaters. The Noon family

lived above it for eighteen years. Ferris Bellwether Noon inherited the building,

the debt, and his mother's habit of touching the box office glass. It remains

closed after his fall—but people still give directions by it.
