The Halifax Mail wrote an article on 31 October 1930 describing the theatre on its opening day:

“The roof is formed of massive oak beams carried on the carved grotesque brackets on smaller beams running between the main beams. The panels between these beams are formed of special acoustical plaster so as to get the best possible results from the sound equipment in the Auditorium.”
