The theatre interior today looks exactly like the old photos. Google maps will allow the user to go inside and see it in color. I had heard there were twinkling stars in the ceiling, and those still show in the Google pictures. It could be some new work was done, but it looks great.
I am still in disbelief that the auditorium of the theatre was ruined by the IRT remodel. I remember seeing the orchestra lift operate during a closed ATOS meeting one Sunday morning years ago. A Thomas Theatre Organ was played by Kenny Jagger. I read above that the lift mechanism was trashed. What a tragedy!!
