I saw Count Basie and his orchestra at the theater a week before he died. I briefly met him after the show. He was great! The theater used to have a large chandelier which fell down one night when the theater was empty. During the 1950’s, the lobby had a large Dumont TV built into the wall. I found the TV in an unused room in the 1980’s. During the 1920’s the ticket booth was out in the sidewalk.
