The Royal originally housed an estimate 250 seats.

Also, there’s a photo from the 1970s on Page 27. I cannot confirm if this is Hearst’s Royal Theatre or the Royal Theatre in neighboring Kapuskasing because the marquee looks very identical.

Uploaded three photos which appear in The Royal Theatre Story by Ernie Bies: the updated facade, the original facade, location of the theatre on George Street.
