These photos were apparently taken in July of 1958, while the Villa Theatre was closed for the installation of TODD-AO for the presentation of South Pacific.

The carpet installed in 1949 was replaced sometime between the opening of South Pacific in 1958 and Sleeping Beauty in 1959.  The original carpet is shown in the top of this photo, with the new carpet below.
