At one time you needed a Loge ticket to sit up here' about .50 cents more than an adult ticket. This was also the only place you could smoke.

This is the view when you come through the main front door. The old concession stand was on the far right. Their used to be as soda vending machine by it that would dispense a cup ice and soda in that order most of the time.

This view on the upper level is between the two restrooms, it use to be an open area now it’s a space for a small lounge bar.The concession stand down stairs is both bar and treats.

I entered these doors many,many times in the 1960’s and 1970’s. The lobby was divided by mirrored exit doors inside on the right side and on the far right wall would be coming attraction posters.On the the left side of the divide would be a glass partition with an opening where the tickets were taken.In the lobby ceiling hanging were Sputnik chandeliers.The ticket cashier would be to the left of the entrance doors on a stool that would face the street or the lobby to sell tickets in a booth.Once past the ticket taker at the far right end was the concession stand;left of that were the stairs up to the balcony(loge) and restrooms.The restrooms smelt like a combination of Bazooka bubble gum, popcorn and, cigarettes.
