This mural of Anthony Quinn (portraying "Zorba The Greek") was a dedication by Paul Harter, who owned the Victor Clothing Company. Harter wanted a a mural of Quinn since he performed at the Million Dollar Movie Theatre as a young man. Elroy Torres who initially designed The Victor Clothing neon sign for Harter, later designed the mural of Quinn for Harter using two techniques for painting the mural:

"He painted Quinn by adopting the method Kent Twitchell developed with "Bride and Groom". A cartoon was prepared, and slides of the cartoon were then projected on sheets of paper taped to a wall. Lines projected on the paper were drawn on the sheet and spaces between the lines were color coded. Torrez applied graphite to the back of the paper sheets and taped them to the wall at Victor Clothing. Finally, he pressed the lines and color codes into the wall and then painted by the numbers. The second technique Torrez used--enlarging the sections of a grid placed over a cartoon of the work--was applied to the background and floor in the rest of the mural".
