Upstairs seating started at front with loge section, where tickets were more expensive than balcony. The balcony had two sections, with a crosswalk halfway up.

This view of right side shows more of the main floor, but at an angle that doesn’t include the large chandelier that the church added in the center of the atmospheric ceiling.

Comfortably Cool commented about Uptown Theatre on Mar 12, 2024 at 7:34 am

At that time, “indie” cinemas were starting to benefit from federal anti-trust legislation against five major movie companies. The Uptown would get films earlier than before, but still after Loew’s 175th Street and the RKO Coliseum, the leaders for that area. More drastic changes were on the horizon, but would take years to complete.
