Just Googled to check out what law might be involved on the balcony usage. Nothing jumped out. Did find much info on the luxury seating and service in the balcony of the Warren Theater in Moore, a section of Oklahoma City. They charge a premium for oversize seating and table food service with alcoholic beverages—therefore no one under 21 y.o. is allowed in this seating area. So, maybe the Dunkin balcony is structurally deficient or fails to meet some public safety codes.

Wondering what kind of law would prevent the use of the balcony… ? Interesting..

This information comes from The Reel Journal April 10, 1926.

Hiram Duncan opened his new Duncan Theatre at Cushing, Okla., March 31st, to big business. The new theatre is modern and fireproof. J. F. Binkley is the manager.

With that Beaux-Arts terra-cotta facade one wondered what the interior was like. Surprisingly auditorium detail did not contain the typical theatre look, but was fashioned to resemble a stately hotel ballroom. See for yourself by typing in word “theatre”,

This theater was opened in 1926 and cost around $200,000 to build.

A Reproduco piano/organ unit may have been used in the Dunkin in the 20’s.

Film Daily Yearbook’s, 1941 and 1943 editions give a seating capacity of 553. In the 1950 edition of F.D.Y. the seating capacity given is for 826.
