If demolition was underway when they were taken, the photos must date from 1976. I see there is an ornate letter “R” on the decorative panel adjacent to the proscenium.

PLEASE!!!! If anyone has a clearer picture of what that ornate letter “R” looks like, specifically the trumpets and designs protruding from the circle, please let me know!! I actually have that plaster “R” hanging on a wall in my house and I would love to rebuild the surrounding designs around it. My uncle got it from the theatre before it was demolished and I very vaguely remember the rest of it, but by the time I got it all that was left was the circle with the letter inside.
