It wasn’t the largest — that was the Hollywood, with 999 seats and a cavernous space. The Hollywood was one of the three largest auditoriums between Pittsburgh and Maryland/D.C.
I have always heard nice things about this theater, but never anything about it being ‘grand’ or ‘opulent.’
Streetview is wrong, shows the empty lot where the Hollywood used to be.
City directory lists the address as 309 Wood St., but I guess that’s the other side of the building.
