Mirroring the Jean Jaurès Center, its facade is also adorned with four columns that highlight the three large panels delimited by the sculptures of Lucien Danglade and by the same triple sponge cake. The whole is topped with a pediment, a reminder of the Basque-Landes architecture honored in Morcenx from the 1930s to the 1950s. Major renovation work carried out in 2025 has provided comfort appreciated by film lovers who frequent this theater classified as "Art et Essai".
It was imperative that the theater be dedicated to a Morcenx celebrity associated with the performing arts. As early as 1937, while construction was underway, it was decided to pay tribute to Marie-Caroline Richepin-Laparcerie (1875-1951), the great Cora, a Morcenx native, actress, author, poet, and later Parisian theater director. She accepted, and her initials were inscribed in the facade's coat of arms, M L, on either side of a pine cone and two squirrels. Due to construction delays caused by the war, the cinema was inaugurated on July 13, 1952, in the absence of Cora, who had died the previous year.
A plaque affixed to the facade in 2012 commemorates her, depicting the young Cora in the New Art decor of her early years.
