I’m not sure if the out of date? photo can be changed at this point, but I’ve sent in the theater website correction, and you should expect that will be fixed with a day or two.

Thanks Ken for adding this cinema to this website today. Scroll down to page 16 for a vintage photo of the auditorium facing the stage. Curtain looks a bit Art Deco to me, so this might be a 1931 photo.
