The King’s two theatres sat around 700+.
Three of the Queen’s four houses sat 415.
The last theatre sat 350. All four Queen
theatres looked quite identical (except 1 & 4
had no surround speakers, just mono sound),
but #4 had to have seats removed from the front
several rows to bring it into township regulation
due to the amount of parking spaces available.

I ran this theatre in 1991 when that photo (above link) was taken. I even hung those letters on the marquee myself! What a cozy theatre it was, excellent place to see a show despite its cramped quarters. The funniest thing is that the box office door was in a tiny inner hallway leading to the ladies room, so trying to get change money to the cashier was a comedy as I ran into women trying to exit the restroom, thinking I was there by mistake! And when I got a print of Terminator 2 a couple days early, I invited the manager of Barclay Square over for a midnight test run, and he in turn invited Charles Barkley who was still with the Philadelphia Sixers at the time.
