I am happy to hear that the lobby was not in bad shape. I am so glad that the statue (we called her Esmerelda) was still there and that many of the old fixures remain. I had heard that on the last night the theater was open the employees had a field day in there. Glad to hear they didn’t destroy everything.

That is good news. Danbury has many treasures to be restored. I have many wonderful memories from living in Danbury and I would hate to see the downtown area go to ruin.

I don’t know where the clothes came from. When I worked there, the dressing rooms were all emptied. Anything of value is definitely gone. I heard that on the night they closed the theater, some of the employees destroyed a lot of what was left inside. I loved that old place and would love to see it restored. I hope that the DaSilva family decides to let someone take it over and make it into the showplace that it could be.
