Lighting fixtures in and about the theatre were made by the Lee Pereira company, 106 E. Hubbard street, and as was the case with so many other details in the theatre, were specially designed for the Esquire.

All furniture in the Esquire was supplied by Davidson’s, Inc., 412 Orleans street, wholesale furniture dealers. Here again, newly designed effects were instituted. With the rough details supplied by the architects, Pereira & Pereira. Davidson’s, Inc., worked out lobby, studio room, and miscellaneous furniture that harmonized with the essential movement of the theatre. Using leathers and rare tapestries, they have created furniture which, while modern in treatment, retains all of the many comforts of period furniture.
