              <p>Earl’s Court was among the biggest one-floor cinemas in Australia, seating 2500 people. The theatre’s wooden floor gradually sloped upwards, with the back seats raised four feet above ground level. While ticket prices varied – centre stalls being most expensive, followed by back stalls and front stalls – Birch Carroll and Coyle marketed the egalitarianism of its seating arrangements, with all patrons offered the same sponge rubber tip-up chairs.</p>
            
              <p>The cinema interior was decorated in pastel shades of pink, turquoise and cream popular in the Art Deco era, with accents of gold. This colour scheme carried through to the light fittings, which were integrated into the lattice and fibreboard ceiling. The cinema was equipped with the latest sound technology from Birch Carroll and Coyle’s preferred supplier, Western Electric. - Source - Queensland deco project - THE STORY OF ART DECO IN QUEENSLAND https://queenslanddecoproject.com/2016/02/17/earls-court/</p>
