ANOTHER FALSEHOOD!
THIS WAS THE “SMOKING LOUNGE” ON THE LOWER LEVEL WHICH CONTAINED SIGNIFICANT ALICE VANDERBILT FURNITURE WHICH HAD BEEN ACQUIRD BY THOMAS LAMB BEFORE HIS DEATH.
VANDERBILT FURNITURE WAS USED THROUGHOUT THIS THEATER.
ORIGINAL SEATING CAPACITY IS WRONG! IT SEATED 1500 IN UPPER BALCONY, 600 OM MEZZANINE AND 2000 ON MAIN LEVEL UNTIL IT WAS ALTERED BY REMOVING SEVERAL ROWS TO PROVIDE MORE LEG-ROOM. I KNOW BECAUSE I WAS THE ASSISTANT MANAGER FOR MR DURWOOD.
