Correction: The Royal Theatre did have dressing rooms complete with a banquet of mirrored, lighted, vanity stations with stools and a wardrobe closet. In the 1960’s the dressing rooms, reached by climbing an iron stairway off of the inner foyer to the second floor, were used by us “candy counter girls” for stashing our coats and changing into our candy counter uniforms of pink blouses and skirts.
Popcorn was delivered pre-popped in big plastic bags from the Wisper and Wetsman distributor and stored in the cavernous basement. A refrigerator off the dressing rooms held many dozen lbs of real butter that was melted and dispensed from the butter machine at the candy counter.
