Having managed the Centre Theatre from 1967 through 1969 at a time when reserved seating was sold for many of the attractions (such as “Hawaii”, “The Happiest Millionaire”, “Camelot” and “Patton”, I can postively state that the seat count listed above is incorrect.
After some of the seats were removed when the Cinemascope screen was installed in front of the proscenium arch, there were 912 seats remaining on the main floor. There were 332 seats in the loge, creating a total seat count of 1,244

As well it should … same architect, same builders, same ownership at time of building.
