In reality, the scene was filmed at the historic 1930 Arlington Theatre at 1317 State Street in downtown Santa Barbara. The theater's exterior was altered in the above shot by a matte-painting addition (in red).

As Indy and Claire try to have a private moment in the lobby, they suddenly find themselves the subject of press photographers. This was inside the actual lobby of the theater.
