The Auditorium is listed in the 1908-1909 Cahn guide with 950 seats; 400 in the orchestra, 250 in the balcony, and 300 in the gallery. The gallery was lost in the late 1940s remodeling, when the upper portion of the building was entirely removed. The Auditorium was also one of three houses listed at Norton in the 1914-1915 AMPD.
I the FDY editions from 1926 through 1930, the only theater listed at Norton was the Cozy, but in 1931 that house was joined by the 582-seat Norton Theatre, which must have been this house, finally returned to use as a cinema.
