One of 20 technical drawings for the Mission Theater, created by Arthur J. Bachelor on February 15, 1924. The theater opened in June 1924, changed its name to the Victory Theater in December of that same year and to the Capitol Theater in 1951. The structure was demolished in 1973.

The architect that drew up the plans for the Mission Theater in 1924 is unclear. There is an Arthur J. Bachelor that was primarily active in Tacoma's photography community, but was also an active member of the Kiwanis Club, Tacoma Executive Association and the Tacoma Yacht Club. That said, the most thorough profile of Bachelor in the 1954 Tacoma News Tribune reveals nothing about amateur draftsmanship.
